Howdy.

Quick question: I've personally renewed the domain registration for
DesignWithFontForge.com every year =E2=80=94 but I also don't do that out o=
f any
attempt to hold on to a piece of the infrastructure. Rather, it's just
because back when we started the book, I had an active account with a
registrar and somebody had to do it, but there was no semblance of a formal
FontForge organization.

I'm happy to keep renewing the registration, but my preference would be to
transfer it to a _properly_formalized_project_organization_. As far as I
can tell, that formal organization does not (yet) exist.

What is the current thinking on setting one up? Or, alternatively, did that
happen at some point and I just missed the news?

I will prime the pump only by saying that a formal org can exist without
that org necessarily claiming copyright on the source code; just handling
trademarks and things is also quite doable.

Thanks,
Nate
PS - also please note that this is not a thread for people volunteering as
individuals to take on the domain renewal. That's not necessary in addition
to not being what I'm asking.
