Re: new wiki & DNS

 



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.

I didn't know wikia would accept to redirect outside their own server. If so, this is great.

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.

Not sure, since the future "yade-xxx.org" would just redirect to the current https adress as well (or I missed a point?), so...

My conclusion: get the domain name first.
... no need to wait.

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

I vote for  yade-open-dem.org
