[forge-dev] Forge website domain (DISCUSS)

[Paul Bakker]

On the topic of the domain name, I think forge.jboss.org is the very best for several reasons:
1) It's matches the name (JBoss Forge) we communicate well
2) It's still clear that it's a JBoss project
3) We could potentially migrate it to any other hosting solution if required for technical reasons
4) It communicates better then jboss.org/forge 

I don't think we should adopt any extra domain names, this is just confusing.

It's a webapp that runs on top of the repo git repository. It's searchable, and much like this: http://grails.org/plugins/
