Should the links aggregator be hosted on tiddlywiki.org?

[Jeremy Ruston]

10 to 15 years ago, we experimented with using https://tiddlywiki.org/ as a community front page for TiddlyWiki. For a while, we even had a MediaWiki instance:

https://web.archive.org/web/20081216015257/http://www.tiddlywiki.org/wiki/Main_Page

TiddlyWiki community activities seem a good fit for the .org sites:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.org

So, while I've been working on the links aggregator I've been wondering if it shouldn't be hosted at tiddlywiki.org or links.tiddlywiki.org to communicate clearly that it is not a commercial endeavour.

By the same logic of course, perhaps we should move TiddlyWiki itself to tiddlywiki.org.

I'd be interested in thoughts. The only immediate proposal is whether we move the links aggregator, but it all needs thinking through.

Best wishes

Jeremy

My opinon: Whichever it is, it should all be on the same top level domain.

My 2 cents: the main domain (.org, .com) doesn't matter, and I (as the
user of a product/project with an internet presence) don't
pay attention to whether its content/tooling/etc. is hosted in a .org or
.com domain.

However, I think the project (tiddlywiki), should have control of both
of those, keep one of those (e.g., .com) as the main one, and the other
one as a redirect to the main one.

...

Have you felt that people make wrong assumptions about tiddlywiki
because of its TLD, Jeremy? I'd assume not, but that's just my POV.

I think it should be links.tiddlywiki.org ... tiddlywiki.org may be a landing page for the tiddlywiki community, that imo is different to tiddlywiki.com.

tiddlywiki.org in my fantasy would look more like this:

Right but may be at: wiki.tiddlywiki.org ... or something similar. tiddlywiki.org/en-GB/editions/empty/ .. would show empty.html

tiddlywiki.org/de-DE/editions/empty/ ... Will lead to the German version ... ... Just an idea.

On the basis of my experience with DataFix.com, I recommend reserving at least both *.net and *.org variations of TiddlyWiki.com.  The relatively recent extension of the TLD names has reduces the pressure on domain names, but I clearly remember having to sign a contractual obligation that we would not use DataFix.com for commercial purposes as recently as 1993.

Since DataFix now hosts a large number of sites, we generally register the Sitename.com, *.net and *.org.  As a general rule, we use *.com as a default, but data Users tend to operate on .ORG (as in ORGanizational user's) sites, while data Owners tend to use .NET (as in data on interNET) sites.
