Re: Domain for the SVG community site

I remember that Doug had settled on svghowto.com, maybe as a
'temporary' home, I'm not sure.

My personal preference between these two is for planetsvg.com though,
despite the fact that 'planet' sites are usually just aggregation
sites, it seems to be the more 'marketable'.  So you  might want to
consider that 3 votes for planetsvg.com.

Again, if this is a short term solution, then I say go with whatever's
easiest.  If we anticipate the site being there for a year or more,
then I'd say go with planetsvg.com.

Jeff Schiller
