Can we add people.postgresql.org as a CNAME for planet.postgresql.org? It's a natural alias that Gevik (and several others including me) have used when they meant to say 'planet'. -selena -- Selena Deckelmann PDXPUG - http://pugs.postgresql.org/pdx Me - http://www.chesnok.com/daily

Well they never were the same think - people is the individual blogs (which we're not going to provide under postgresql.org), and planet is the aggregator - so I don't think it makes sense to add a cname. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com

Except that "people" was generally a blogging service, which planet is not. Wouldn't that cause confusion? Sincerely, Joshua D. Drake

Not necessarily the same thing. For example, people.debian.org is completely distinct from planet.debian.org. A "planet" subdomain is pretty well established as a blogging aggregator. Where is the precedent for "people"?

I don't think there's a precedent for it. It's just a thinko people make about the name for blog aggregators. I've heard it said and written before, and Gevik just did it. Dave's right - that alias was already being used by the individual blogs. My mistake - please leave things as they are :) -selena -- Selena Deckelmann PDXPUG - http://pugs.postgresql.org/pdx Me - http://www.chesnok.com/daily

Different domain. We're talking about [people|planet].postgresql.org, not [people|www].planetpostgresql.org. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com
