Hi Ean:
Good reason to try and get ASF to keep it. (No disrespect intended but,
need I mention, underneath all this, is the "commercial" reality that
your comment implies.)
Regards,
Ruth

This brings up a question: should we keep it around and keep using
it, or let it go (just all of the other ofbiz.* domain names that
aren't anything official related to the project)?
There is certainly historical significance to it, but it really isn't
needed any more now that everything is under the official apache.org
domain. The ofbiz.org domain could be transferred to the ASF and
maintained by the foundation if there is interest (I think some other
projects have done this, while others have just let the old domain go).
What does everyone think? Is it worth keeping around?
