Namecoin.org should be the canonical URL
Posted: Tue Jan 27, 2015 1:18 am
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.
