Jeremy, reading your comments regarding fixing bug 639 I was kind of surprised that you asked to use '.org' domain. I personally always thought that official site name is winehq.com. What is the story behind using 2 separate names? Andriy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? LAUNCH - Your Yahoo! Music Experience http://launch.yahoo.com
The story is pretty simple. The .com site is the original name to WineHQ before and after Corel hosted the site. CodeWeavers originally registered .org to simply be a mirror of the .com site. But, since they are now both hosted on the exact same server it does not really matter which you use. It is my suggestion to use .org as the preferred as it seems to sound better than .com on an open source site. On Wed, 2002-05-15 at 12:24, Andriy Palamarchuk wrote:

Agree with you here, but it is important to use the same one, whatever it is. I don't think we want to change ".com" to ".org" everywhere in the documentation and on the web site, so I suggest to keep use ".com".

Rejected :) Keep in mind that we're not in Wine 1.0 stage yet... winehq.com needs changing, so we *do* change it before it's too late... (read: Wine 1.0) That's my opinion at least... -- Andreas Mohr Stauferstr. 6, D-71272 Renningen, Germany Tel. +49 7159 800604 http://mohr.de.tt

As I said, don't mind as soon as it is the same everywhere. Andriy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? LAUNCH - Your Yahoo! Music Experience http://launch.yahoo.com

I dunno, I think I agree with Andriy's initial reaction. It's not broken, why fix it? There are so many people that link to winehq.com - do we really want to confuse them at this point? Jer

Agreed. There is no way we can fix all references to winehq.com out there, so any attempt at changing it will only result in major confusion. And we would have to start using winehq.org email addresses too, which would likely double the amount of spam we get <g> -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

And we would have to start using winehq.org email addresses too, which would likely double the amount of spam we get <g> OK, I agree that these are all concerns to think about (especially the SPAM one ! <g>), but every single Open Source project out there usually uses a .org domain, so I think we should make the switch, and if we decide to do it, then we should do it now instead of later.
Anyway, IMHO doing or not doing such a thing should be decided via voting in the Wine community (unless CodeWeavers is definitely against a switch, as they're hosting .com/.org; IOW: veto right). Anyone care to do that voting ? Or should I simply volunteer to collect "votes" ? You could hardly call this "transparent" voting, though, since I'd be the one to collect (and manipulate ;-) them then. Or what about creating a BugZilla bug instead for the voting process ? That way you'd have transparent voting, and after all it is a project activity, so using BugZilla for that would be at least a slight bit justified. -- Andreas Mohr Stauferstr. 6, D-71272 Renningen, Germany Tel. +49 7159 800604 http://mohr.de.tt

Go ahead, don't create too many formalities. As previously - the voices can be gathered privately. My voice - 0. I accept either option, but this should be decided now. Happy voting results manipulating ;-) Andriy. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? LAUNCH - Your Yahoo! Music Experience http://launch.yahoo.com
