I don't think the canonical name for the cookbook has actually been decided
on, I just picked one more or less arbitrarily.

I noticed that "schemecookbook.org" is the same length as
"www.schemewiki.org", and it's more cookbook-specific, whereas e.g.
cookbook.schemewiki.org is longer.

We had also discussed variations like plt.schemewiki.org.  My feeling is
that the canonical name we use for the actual cookbook should ideally
reflect that it refers to the cookbook - possibly using the word "cookbook",
but that's pretty long.  If possible, it might also reflect the PLT
orientation.  Then again, plt.schemecookbook.org is kinda long and the "plt"
part might throw people off.

Should we consider the shorter schemebook.(org|com), which is also
available?

As a data point, I notice that both "www.wikipedia.org" and "wikipedia.org"
redirect me to en.wikipedia.org (i.e. English).  But I never type
"en.wikipedia.org" to get there, mainly because I usually don't pay much
attention to the redirection.

Perhaps everyone should post their top three favorites for a canonical name
for the cookbook, and we can decide from there...
