I am sure that others would like it. So it is more than just one person's request. But as a practical matter I don't think it scales. There just aren't the resources all in one place for thousands of unique project sites. And for the resources needed to maintain them for security upgrades. I just don't think it is practical. Nice in concept. Just unable to actually do it. > AFAIK the web pages are controlled by the FSF not the Savannah Hackers > > The web pages for www.gnu.org are controlled by the FSF. > But savannah serves www.nongnu.org (from frontend). I don't think so. Isn't www.nongnu.org served from the FSF and is just a top level http redirect back to savannah.nongnu.org? The savannah.nongnu.org site is served on frontend. That is after the redirect. But www.nongnu.org is as far as I know served on the FSF servers. I guess I should ask about DNS. I suppose it would be possible for the DNS name to point to a completely different server. Again that is administered by the FSF admins. I don't know if there is precedent for it. And philosophically and politically would the FSF want to be a DNS registrar for nongnu projects? Don't know that either. Maybe they would since they host them on nongnu.org. WDYT? Bob
