Re: <title> Contents

Thanks Doug

I wonder if "webplatform.org" is a good idea: people looks more for webplatform in their search engine than webplatform.org. If they already have the URL, google or bing or... will give them the right website but if they just has webplatform it's harder to find the extension, isn't it?

Cheers
