RE: [Boost-users] Re: The Boost Community
Wouldn't something simply and descriptive like http://boostcommunity.org/ or http://community.boost.org/ make more sense? I know everyone is thinking marketing etc, but I think it will be possible to come up with something along those practical lines, that still sounds slick. Thesaurus entry for community anyone? Gaz

I actually love that.
www.gotboost.org
By the way this domain is already used by someone. Can it be a problem?

Good point. Sounding slick might not be so important. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com

FWIW, I really like http://community.boost.org Plus it is easy to do and cost free, at least as far as the DNS part goes. There must be some way to configure an apache web server to know that a page request is directed at community.boost.org. For the current web site we just point our www.boost.org DNS record at a general SourceForge IP address, and somehow the apache web server at SF knows the request is for boost rather than any of the other project web pages hosted at that same IP address. --Beman
I liked community.boost.org more than boostme, I think it is a lot more descriptive and I think it will be easier to find for those looking for a C++ community. On 5/6/05, Beman Dawes <bdawes@acm.org> wrote:
