Hello everybody, indeed, our URL surface is too fragmented, and that may explain as well why none of our many addresses have a good page rank. I think that we need to focus on one URL, and think well about it for a durability of, say ten years. There are many possible choices. Note that different debian.org domain often mean a differently hosted machine, and this is a big work overhead. This said, a URL rewriting within the Debian website might also be possible. In any case, I think that it would be a good time for our pages to leave the /devel directory, as our pages are not only to give instructions to developers, and as it makes the URL more difficult to remember. Here are possible replacements for http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-med/ that I would think of: http://www.debian.org/blends/debian-med/ http://www.debian.org/debian-med/ http://blends.debian.org/debian-med/ http://blends.debian.org/med/ http://debian-med.debian.org/ http://med.debian.org/ http://ti.ny/md (just joking; these URL obsfucations are an insult to the WWW) http://med.deb/ (alternatively, we could lobby the IETF to get a TLD for Debian). My gut feeling is that we will have a better chance to change our URL if what we ask can be used by other blends as well. For the wiki and Alioth front pages, I think that they are very developer-oriented, and it is good, because it means that they are not redundant with the Debian website. I would not try to integrate in a single URL scheme, but rather to accentuate their specialisation. The tasks pages on Alioth, on the other hand, have a broad audience. But since they are leaf pages, I think that it is fine to link from www.debian.org to them.
