Project domain name

Although I think the "liberalisation" of the TLD namespace is a huge mistake, given that we're stuck with it, it probably makes sense to get this.

If we're going to change domain I'd like to get rid of the foundation part actually. So, diaspora.software is already in my preregistrations...

Free as in available, or free as in zero cost?

.foundation is donuts, so probably around 30€/year.

Nice work, Jonne. If we're considering changing domain name, would it be worth bagging diaspora.network or diaspora.social alongside diaspora.software? Not everyone will be interested in the software side of it.

My feeling : it can be interesting.
My preference : .social
My opinion : I totally agree with you @robinstent , these new possibilities shouldn't be. It's only a new way to make money. (That makes me think... finally, should we run into this, especially to promote a free software ?)

I already own diaspora.social and currently redirect it to diasporafoundation.org. It would make a nice pod domain though...

I don't feel like we need to change the domain name, but we can get it and redirect to diasporafoundation.org

I find diasporafoundation.org pretty hard to read...

While we're on the subject I notice that diaspora.org although registered, is not in use (just an ad page). I think it's worth finding out who owns it and trying to negotiate to get hold of it. They might want lots of money for it, they might not, but it's worth asking the question.

EDIT: The answer is that this company owns it: http://original.com
Their business is buying and selling valuable domains.
