openjena domains

[Dave Reynolds <da...@gmail.com>]

Prior to the transition into Apache we made use of the domains
openjena.org and openjena.com.

These still exist and redirect to jena.apache.org.

The domains are up for renewal in the next couple of weeks. I am happy
to renew them if people feel this would be worthwhile, otherwise I'll
cancel them.

I have not found many links to openjena.* in the wild - were they in
use for only a short period after moving from HP to SourceForge?

In my experience, most of those links are part of old powerpoint slides.

That they are not used as part of any namespaces is another nail in
their coffin. Jena is no longer called "Open Jena".

So as much as I like to promote persistence of old URLs, I don't see
any strong reason to do so for those domains, so +1 to expire.

Agreed.

Definitely not "well used", couldn't justify a transfer.

+1

OK I'll leave this open for 5 days but absent any counter arguments will 
cancel the domains.

IIRC openjena.com never got used for anything.  I'm not worried about 
cyber squatters taking over the domain so I don't see a reason to keep it.


We don't use openjena.org and we could transfer it to Apache (maybe - 
the foundation may only take over well-used domains to aid transition).

The use I can see for it is for (future) vocabularies.  However, 
jena.apache.org looks about as solid as you can get without owning and 
operating your own infrastructure and likely vocabularies tied to Jena 
would be at jena.apache,org.

So - openjena.org - it's been a while since Jena moved to Apache.  I 
can't rationalise keeping it.

(and I have just had a quick purge of "openjena" in comments strings and 
log4j property files)
