Re: [asciidoc-wg] 2021 Program plan and budget

[Dan Allen <dan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Graeme,

Thank you for your feedback. You need not feel like just a spectator here. Everyone is welcome to participate. And if you're participating, you are part of this community.

It may seem unnecessary to have multiple domains right now, but trust that this is going to give us room to grow. I assure you this is not an indicator of fragmentation. Rather, it's about specialization. The AsciiDoc Language project needs it's own domain (asciidoc-lang.org) that's exclusively focused on the language, its artifacts, and the TCK. It's not a marketing / advocacy site. It's a project site. This mirrors what many other languages do, such as Ruby, Swift, Rust, etc. The asciidoc.org site will then be a portal for the ecosystem and all the places AsciiDoc is used. So the scope is much, much broader. We haven't yet decided whether this is the same as the Working Group website or a separate site. We'll communicate those plans once we're ready to discuss them. But whatever we decide there, it will not affect asciidoc-lang.org.

Best Regards,

-Dan

Hi Dan,

Looks great.

I'm a spectator here, so I'm reluctant to offer criticism. However, I
still see asciidoc-lang.org as a separate domain name in the slides.

I wanted to echo the earlier discussion: there is already a natural
landing site for all things AsciiDoc on asciidoc.org, and sprouting a
whole new domain seems artificial and will confuse users (especially new
users, who are your growth path.) If a new domain is what's most
expedient, perhaps that's a hint about fragmentation within the AsciiDoc
ecosystem (which this project is supposed to reverse.)

Again, thanks for all your hard work. I'm excited to see where this leads.

cheers,
Graeme
