[Swift-devel] Domain name

[Michael Wilde]

We're trying to deprecate the use of the name "SwiftScript". Its a bit hard to pronounce (rolls off the tongue poorly) and we want to be more selective in whether we pitch it as a scripting language or parallel programming language.

We need to select one URL like http://swift-lang.org and all other URLs use should bring you to the site under this preferred URL.

I agree with David on preferring swift-lang.org: it "looks" best, even if we occasionally have to point out the hyphen.

Vytas: any advice on how best to do this and what to watch out for? Is it simply a matter of setting the site to redirect all entry points to one primary URL?
