Would it be smart for opensolaris.org to host its own link shortener?
This would have several benefits:
* Shorter, easier links for e-mail, IRC, forums and social media sites
* Could include statistics (like bit.ly)
* No risk of "link corrosion" since we manage the site, not an
unrelated third party
* Single place to refactor links when infrastructure is replaced or
serviced (e.g. Elaine's excellent work purging SOA links out of the mail
archives)
Interesting idea - tr.im is supposed to be open sourcing their
link-shortening engine as part of their de-commercialization.
A domain like oso.ly would work well for this purpose.
op.en would be so much cooler - think the UK government would be willing
to trade their .uk TLD for .en for England? (Okay, maybe not.)
I wonder if Glynn could register ope.nz... or maybe we could get
op.so in Somalia?
