numpy.org redirection

some time ago I registered the domain numpy.org with the intention of donating it to the group just thought about it again today, and realized I could easily redirect it, so my question is: o does anyone object to my doing that? o where should it point, here? http://numpy.sourceforge.net/ or here? http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy if someone feels strongly that I should transfer ownership of the domain to someone more central to development, etc., I'll be happy to do that - otherwise I'm happy just redirecting and renewing it as it comes up, or at some point setting up real hosting of the domain somewhere (sourceforge?) -- John A.

This is very generous of you. I don't want to own the domain. I'm not even sure as a govt employee if you could give it to me. The new Python Foundation, when it is up and running, would be appropriate. For now, I suggest you just leave it as is. I don't understand your remark about "real hosting". numpy.sourceforge.net really is at sourceforge (? guess it is obvious I'm not familiar with this term). Both pages have pointers to each other. So technically it is a wash. People looking for docs need to be on one, for releases on the other. My guess is that the link on the project page back to the home page is a little more confusing for a newbie than the clearly spelled-out link on the home page to the project page. When I first used SF I thought "Home" would be the project page. So my guess is that numpy.sourceforge.net would be best. The operative word is "guess". -----Original Message----- From: numpy-discussion-admin@lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:numpy-discussion-admin@lists.sourceforge.net]On Behalf Of John A.

PFD> This is very generous of you. by the way, it isn't such a big deal any more since the registrars have opened up - I use http://www.directnic.com, which is only $15/year and has nice easy admin of the domains - far superior to networksolutions so I've done this for several open source projects (gnuplot, octave, and latex2html) - usually when I use but haven't been able to contribute as much in the way of development as I would have liked -- John A.
