Xinha.org

Hey people,

a while ago (few years) now I registered xinha.org and have setup the DNS servers so that it points to this website. I thought that would be a nice way to support this project.

It seems however, as if this domain is not being used. Therefore I wonder if it still makes sense for me to hold on to it at all.

Just to make it clear, I do not want any money for this, I just want to support this cool open source project by providing it with an easy to remember URL.

Please let me know if this is appreciated at all, if not, no hard feelings, I will simply not renew the registration when it comes up for renewal.

Re: Xinha.org

Please, by all means, yes! Though it seems, at the first look as if xinha.org is unused, because it is redireted, I find it most important to have a succinct address to be found. Also, it is mentioned in any file of the distribution

Re: Xinha.org

The redirection is set up in the DNS zone, which I do not control. Upon registration I have received these nameservers from Gogo to enter:

Name Server:NS1.HYNERIA.GOGO.CO.NZ
Name Server:NS2.HYNERIA.GOGO.CO.NZ

Which is where the domain is controlled. Making changes there shouldn't be a problem. If you want me to setup different nameservers, please let me know and I'll change them ASAP.

It should be easy to change the zones so that all traffic uses xinha.org instead, instead of the other addresses currently being used, that way people will find it easier to remember the URL.

Never noticed the xinha.org in the release files!

Re: Xinha.org

www.xinha.org points to the server that runs the forum, hence http://www.xinha.org/punbb/

I've added a redirect to the old xinha.gogo.co.nz domain so that it will direct to the canonical xinha.org domain instead.  I've also added svn.xinha.org and trac.xinha.org which go to the appropriate places.

foxx if you want I'm happy to take the domain over from you and pay for it's registration, just let me know - james@gogo.co.nz

Re: Xinha.org

Thanks for offering James, but I'd like to contribute to Xinha this way. Since my JavaScript knowledge and time is limited, this allows me to still help out a little!

Until this project is cancelled or discarded, I will continue to pay for the registration. If any changes need to be made to the registration, please notify me at sonnenberg@gmail.com
