I think this is a very good suggestion. It has advantages for the sponsor=20
as well: If we redirect to his/her domain, then everyone can see who is=20
sponsoring this service for KDE. A prominent link back to the home page=20
would not even feel like a advertisement and would certainly draw more=20
people to the sponsor's home page than something that looks like an=20
advertisement.

We could then also introduce some new redirects (apps.kde.org,=20
wiki.kde.org and forum.kde.org) without suggesting that those are in any=20
way controlled by KDE. For those subdomains that are really controlled by=20
KDE we should also encourage use of the kde.org style to remove the=20
layout inconsistencies.

I believe making the difference between sites controlled by KDE and sites=20
that are individual contributions for KDE is important not only to avoid=20
the impression that KDE e.V. is selling advertisments (which is is not=20
allowed to IIRC), but more importantly also to properly acknowledge those=20
that run these sponsored sites.

I am cc'ing Christopher as I do not know whether he is on this list.
