Namecoin.org should be the canonical URL

Post by indolering »

Currently, wiki.namecoin.org is broken and forum.namecoin.org loads using the SSL cert for namecoin.info. I requested that this be changed, but the rational behind it is that a redirect would force users to re-login and alter saved passwords. This was enough to quell debate during an IRC meeting that I was not present for.

The usability issues are fairly straightforward: forcing the dozen or so active forum users to relogin vs having a uniform URL for all uses. At the very least, wiki.namecoin.org should be working and forum.namecoin.org should use the namecoin.org certificate.

I think that all namecoin.info URLs should be redirected to their namecoin.org equivalents, as we are now splitting SEO power across the domains. This would also simplify administration.
DNS is much more than a key->value datastore.
