Re: The Various OWF Domains and DNS

[David Recordon]

So my understanding is that we'll continue using openwebfoundation.org
for the site about the Foundation, our legal docs, and the incubator
as it gets spun up. wiki.openwebfoundation.org will then be the wiki
for the Foundation. openweb.org will be a separate advocacy site for
the open web, run by folks associated with or members of the
Foundation.

+the Infrastructure list at this point. Nate and I will send a
separate email catching everyone up on the progress we've been making
with the OSU OSL to get the wiki hosted and site moved to a more
stable environment.

+Brad Neuberg since he's leading the openweb.org effort.

Thanks,
--David

As for the owf.me domain, I'll hang on to it in the hope that someone
suitably capable will be able to set up a link-shortener with no risk
of link corrosion that we can all use with these rather long domain
names.

[David Recordon]

That's certainly fine with me. :) I don't think we need to make use
of all of the domains right now.
