Re: Domain conference.postgresql.org requested

Well, I am probably missing too much (dunno about the tech resources and
cost for the case), and you will probably be surprised on my post to the
thread, but:

1) conference.postgresql.org seems much more easy to remember than
www.postg....
(which has no sense if the site is temporary)

2) Google (and alike ones) will obviously index this documents, so, if *we*
set this as a subdomain, and then will switch it off, we'll have 404 GET
shit, when, if *we* use a www.postgre..../conference kind of site, then we
could easily redirect those hits to the main site, without paying an extra
for a subdomain.

My 2 cents, if they count go to the site/conference case.

Every little helps, and please avoid this post if I am being silly >:}
