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?
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>
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.
