On the topic of websites: I'm still seeing mentions of asciidoc.org and asciidoc-lang.org in the existing materials (plan, budget). I wanted to raise this again because I'm not convinced it's a good idea to have two separate domain names for this.
I understand the argument about different branding and a clear separation of the end-user site from the language project. But I believe that:
a) Clear separation (different branding, design, ...) can be had even if a sub-domain or a sub-path is used (i.e. lang.asciidoc.org or asciidoc.org/lang). So, no confusion would be courted.
b) Conversely, more potential for confusion would arise from having a completely different domain (asciidoc-lang.org). This, to me, invites ppl to think that it's a "different AsciiDoc". As if the ppl behind asciidoc-lang.org didn't get along with asciidoc.org, so a new clutch domain had to be registered to present their stuff.
Can we have this discussion again? Or, if you think it's not necessary to talk about it any more, can we have a show of hands?
Thank you.
