I'm thinking maybe we should do it the other way round, and have kawa-lang.org be the official Kawa URL. The main reason is better branding, plus a shorter URl for people to remember/type. The easiest and cheapest in the short term would be to host kawa-lang.org on the same hosting site where I host bothner.com - which is DreamHost. Of course that means it is still dependent on me, though it is possible for me to create other maintainer accounts. If there is some reason to move it (for example Kawa gets a corporate sponsor) it should be easy to move - it's just some static web pages. If we do this, I'm thinking of doing it right after the move to git, and have it be part of the kawa 2.3 changes. That means the only service remaining at GNU/FSF would be the download (ftp) site. I see no major reason to move that, though it would be easy to set up ftp.kawa-lang.org hosted using DreamHost. The mailing list(s) can stay on sourceware.org for now. -- --Per Bothner per@bothner.com http://per.bothner.com/
