Rename Haiku-OS to Haiku
I think a major key of success of most popular things are their name
The name should be easy to remember
What about renaming www.haiku-os.org to www.haiku.org or www.gethaiku.org ?

Re: Rename Haiku-OS to Haiku
Most people just Google the name without bothering with the address bar, I don't think it matters what the domain name is too much.
Anyway, the Haiku operating system is called Haiku, I don't know what you're on about.
Re: Rename Haiku-OS to Haiku
it already is just haiku. the site is haiku-os.org because haiku.org was taken at the time. how is gethaiku.org less confusing than haiku-os.org?
Re: Rename Haiku-OS to Haiku
I suggest you to register the www.haiku.free domain name.
It is free !
It is totally free while using OPENNIC DNS servers
Add the opennic servers to your computer (http://www.opennicproject.org/), then go to http://reg.for.free/ under Firefox or Waterfox
and register it.
It could be useful.
Re: Rename Haiku-OS to Haiku
I like projects with unique website names. It makes it far easier to locate information about the system, developer notes, forum posts, etc. When I google 'Haiku' by itself, I get a whole lotta poetry. Nice - but usually not what I'm looking for. I do the same thing with my own posts. If my name were John Smith, I'd never find them.
Re: Rename Haiku-OS to Haiku
Free or not isn't the issue and having a domain that can only be accessed by people using one DNS service is completely and utterly pointless.
