OK, I've registered #1 & #2 via Joker.  I'll do the configuration later
today.

I'll hold off on registering the rest to see what others think.  My own
opinion is that if this was a commercial venture, we'd want to get all of
those, but since we're not, I'm not sure how important it is.  This is
naturally a .org project, and I don't think it's likely that other Scheme
people would pick related domains once ours is publicized.  If someone sets
up a squatting/advertising site at one of the other names, I'm not sure it's
that big a deal - as MJ pointed out, Google should still find our site.

One counterargument is that producing a printed book could make it more
attractive to have all the domains, e.g. a publisher might like that.  If
the book is called "The Scheme Cookbook", then it makes sense to register
the variations on that.

Thanks.  I'd say let's wait until we've figured out the final plan, then we
can settle up.
