RE: epubtest.com domain (was Re: Interesting....)

Sorry – I meant epubcheck.w3.org as a possible replacement for
validator.idpf.org (sheesh even I was confusing epubtest and epubtest there
for a minute, sigh). Anyway name aside, how and where to host a definitive
instance of the validator is of course just one minor piece of the whole
epubcheck refresh project... this was just a “for instance” hypothetical.

Hi Tzivya,

 

Karen and I discussed w/ W3C Comm team and within W3C management at the time
of the combination and the conclusion was that we wanted to build community
at w3.org/publishing and not manage additional separate sites. Someday we
might have subdomains, e.g. epubtest.w3.org as replacement for
validator.idpf.org but we want w3.org to be the hub for new info and we
didn’t have the resources to maintain the most likely suspect for ongoing
use, epubzone.org, or keep idpf.org “current”, and there was concern this
would be dilutive to the spirit of the combination as well as confusing in
practice. I don’t see any reason to revisit this analysis now, do you?

 

Separately we want to make sure not to lose any content and don’t impair 3rd
party SW that may be pinging URIs referenced in old specs but archival is
not Comm responsibility, it’s something between Ralph & me and perhaps Sys
Team at W3C (of course that we failed to renew epubzone.org domain is still
a black eye re: this even if we hadn’t wanted to continue to operate it, mea
culpa).

 

Thanks,

 

--Bill

I think it’s a good idea. On the topic, Bill, didn’t you assemble a list of
domain names that IDPF owned and/or had a stake in? Can we pass that on to
the comms team?

If the SC is o.k. with this, I believe Bill should talk to the W3C systeam
who maintains such domains registrations.

Who should take the lead on this? Maybe BillM? Scott emailed me
privately wondering why he didn't get a response yet.

Thanks,

I think it is in our interest to secure these domain and twitter names,
regardless of whether we do something significant with them or not...

Of course, it is not clear from the mail if Scott is just releasing us the
domain or whether a financial compensation is also expected... but I don't
think there is.

(Of course, we will have to talk to the W3C system team who maintain these
things...)

I'm the owner of the epubtest.com <http://epubtest.com>  domain, and will
likely not be renewing it
when it expires later this year (Nov 2018). I'd gladly transfer this to the
epubtest.org <http://epubtest.org>  group if that's of interest. I also have
the @epubtest Twitter
account, which I'd be willing to part with if it could go to a good home.

Please contact me off-list if you're interested in taking ownership of
either of these.

Thanks,
...scott
