One thing I'm missing at this point is a suitable domain name. I do not currently own a domain that seems appropriate.

In a lot of ways, cap-lore feels right, but I'm conflicted. What I'm proposing to do fits Norm's intent for cap-lore, but I don't want to usurp what he created. On the other hand, cap-lore won't last in isolation; at some point someone will stop paying the domain name fees unless a group is structured to maintain it.

If you have any good ideas, could you please email them to me *privately*. I say privately because every domain name we put out in public will be snapped up before we can acquire it.

Thanks


Jonathan

Thanks, David. I appreciate the thought. That's a ridiculously cute TLD, by the way.

I think we want a TLD for this, because we want it associated with a registrar account that can be taken over by a new maintainer at some point.

What exactly is the intended use?

I own capibara.com, that used to be the home of MinorFS  ( 
) amongst other things.

Here is a blog about it's history:


I was actually looking into selling it, partially in order to allow me to be able to fund working less on my day job so I can work on my insane stack of pet projects ( https://hive.blog/hive-139531/@pibara/my-insane-20-project-pet-stack--quantum-resistance ) that aims to include a lot of POLA and caps adjacent stuff, but for what I currently have way too little spare time to ever complete all of it. 

If your intended use for the domain is in the same spirit as MinorFS and of my current pet project stack, inclusive of sparse caps, and if it is somehow possible to maintain ownership while delegating administration and renewal, the knowledge that it has a new home in the spirit of its history might make me reconsider wanting to sell it.

Kind regards.
