If nobody answers, then nobody is against? ;-P

Look at recent changes: 

  https://yade.hmg.inpg.fr/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&days=30&limit=500

  http://yade.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&days=30

How many people created accounts on new wiki?


Hosting YADE wiki in Grenoble is a great idea. Our own server, we can
do anything with it. No "unexpected" downtime (expect if there is a
power failure, and it's weekend or two-month long summer holiday,
then Remi won't come to turn on the server). No advertisements.

This switch must be done in perfect way. Otherwise people will be lost.


We need to ask wikia.com administrators to make such redirect
in .htaccess file for yade.wikia.com :

  RedirectMatch 301 /(.*) http://new-yade-address.org/

This 301:

- tells google that all search results which applied to old address
  will now apply to new address. And all "google points" connected
  with old address will be linked to the new one.

- a person opening old address will be automatically redirected by
  the browser to the new one. People won't have a choice - they will
  HAVE to use the new one. Becasue the old one will redirect them to
  new one.

Asking wikia.com admins to change this redirect later from
https://yade.hmg.inpg.fr to http://new-yade-address.org/ will cause
some extra trouble.

My conclusion: get the domain name first.

We could do some voting on domain names, heheh.

* ya.de
* y4d3.org
* yade-dem.org
* yyaaddee.org
* open-yade.org
* yade-project.org
* yade-code.org
* yade-open-dem.org

and collect more naming proposals :)

http://ya.de is unused currently - I like this one :)

best regards
