Dear Gretl Team,
I'm thinking a lot about creating a Gretl domain for the Portuguese website. Today I discovered that this could be simple (and cheap!). I would like to create the
www.gretl.org.br or
www.gretl.com.br (but IMHO the
www.gretl.org is a better choice), assuming all the costs, of course.
The .
com.br is cheaper and easier to register than .
org.br, but has a .com indicating something commercial. The .
org.br needs some legal documentation. The .org is the simplest
to register.
Why use a domain? I think it would be easier to users remember our internet address and look a little bit more professional (unfortunately a lot of our users don't know what Sourceforge is :)). Important: I really don't think Gretl is not professional! I just
saying that we could improve public perception about that.
Additionally I've been thinking about creating an email adress with one of these domains. Why? Today I use an email address from the University where I did my PhD and I would like to stop this. I could use my new professional email (from Brazilian Ministry
of Finance), but I think we shouldn't associate Gretl with anything more commercial (we are free and open source :)).
What do you think?
Best regards,
Henrique Andrade
