reactos.com or reactos.org?

[Ge van Geldorp]

I was wondering if, together with the launch of the new website, we should
switch our "primary" domain from reactos.com to reactos.org? We have control
of both domains. An .org domain seems better suited for a open source
project. What do you all think?

Gé van Geldorp (aka [e-mail] :-))

I do not think it is a good idea. for to many people know already .com and a
normal person use .com trying find a project or company. then .org.
So I think .com is best as primary domain.

I think that the domain org is better!

(hello everybody, i'm new here :-) I saw an update-article about reactos 
and was immediately interested)

I agree - .org sounds more like non-profit. When I here a .com name, I 
can smell the money ...

Always  when  I  search  OpenSource or freeware, I initially seacrh in
.org.
If  you  look  in  ICANN  documents?  you  can  see?  thdt  .org means
"non-commercial".
But  thera  are  a lot of people, who don't know TLD's other that .com
and for them you need .com domain.

I  have  a  "dumb"  idea,  that ReactOS.com must be for newcomers, and
ReactOS.org - for peolple interested in development.

Hello,

I suggest to keep .com for official docs and annoucements but use the
.org for the wiki website and the mailling list.
.com give a certain credibility wether .org is more convenient for the
collaboratif work.

Romain

PS Where can I find documentation on the installer ?
I'm trying to make scripts to install reactos from a working linux into
a FAT32 partition

We haven't even been able to maintain one website. What makes you think we
could maintain two? Also suppose you want to find out more about ReactOS
and are given the two URLs www.reactos.com and www.reactos.org which have
different content. Which one has the information you need? That is far from
obvious.

.com and .org with different content is to confusing.

However, a redirecting from .com to .org would be possible. It's even 
possible to show a page with "please, update your bookmarks" or do a 
dealy for 5 seconds.

It doesnt mind .org or .com if i can find the site and
my bookmarks work, but put a 5 seconds delay in the
wrong place and i will become anoyed ;)  Dont like
people wasting my time.

*definition from dictionary.com*

*.com*

/abbr./

commercial organization (in Internet addresses).

perhaps we should redirect from reactos.com to .org with a short page 
(with a donation link) explaining our non-profit status and the gpl.

Atm people/websites who already know ReactOS point to *.reactos.com,
why should we change that ?

[Simon Cornelius P. Umacob]

The search key "link: reactos.org" in Google returns:
    Results 1 - 10 of about 1,700 for link: reactos.org. (0.08 seconds)

While "link: reactos.com" returns:
    Results 1 - 10 of about 13,000 for link: reactos.com. (0.09 seconds)

I guess the question is not on which URL to use per se-- but rather, on 
which URL to use in advocating ReactOS.  I'd still vote for reactos.org 
though, despite its not being well-used. =)

Whether you choose to use .org or .com, what matters is that you guys 
have made a wonderful job.  Kudos to the ReactOS dev team!

I think it's indeed preferable, but of course all old links should be
rewritten to prevent link breakage, and also to make it possible to use
.com. So for instance, if you would request reactos.com/faq you would be
redirected to reactos.org/faq. Maybe it would be best to do this with a
permanent redirect (302 iirc) so browsers update their bookmarks, and
rss readers update their feeds.

Hi Gé, sorry for the late reply!

Just an idea:
reactos.org == ReactOS Foundation (a few static pages for it; minimum 
manteinance)
reactos.com == ReactOS Developer Team (all the remaining info; dynamic)

Anyway fully aliasing the domains seems the most reasonable solution:
reactos.org MX 10 reactos.org
reactos.org MX 20 dutlru2.lr.tudelft.nl
reactos.org MX 30 dutlruw.lr.tudelft.nl
reactos.org A 130.161.165.129
reactos.com CNAME reactos.org
reactos.biz CNAME reactos.org
reactos.info CNAME reactos.org

"all the remaining info; dynamic":
All ReactOS (main) pages will be static (x)html pages! The static pages will
be generated with the RosCMS page generator.

"myReactOS" (user interface for the RosCMS; manage your own login account,
etc.), the "support database" and phpbb, mediawiki and bugzilla are the
dynamic parts of the new homepage!

my idea:
reactos.org => a few pages about the ReactOS foundation; maybe generated
with RosCMS; on the same (main) server as reactos.com

generally i think 2 different pages makes no sence. for me the idea of 
routing reactos.com to reactos.org and push the .org domain is the best
