Is support.g.o meant to be the subdomain 'version' of gnomesupport.org?
Not necessarily. To be decided, together with the gnomesupport.org maintainers. I'm for moving from gnomesupport.org to support.gnome.org, yes, but there are other possibilities.
Why make it a subdomain at all?
I think the question is the other way round: why an official GNOME subsite shouldn't be under gnome.org? I bet gnomesupport.org was created with a different domain on a external server because this way Luke Stroven could simply JFDI skipping the server policies and the sysadmin dependencies at that time. Now the situation is different. What is the reason to stay away? I also think that one domain less helps fixing the mess. support.gnome.org looks good and consistent with all the rest. I have mentioned already the advantages of having a General nav bar linking to subdomains and not to wgo pages or external domains. As far as I know Luke sees this move with good eyes. Another reason to think the move makes sense.
Most people don't give a crap about URLs
Some do, some don't. I remember being confused by gnomesupport.org the first day I looked for GNOME support. Was that site official? Some people care about this when looking for answers. Users like me would be not confused with a support.gnome.org For people don't giving a crap about URLs will be the same to have gnomesupport.org or support.gnome.org - no loss here. -- Quim Gil /// http://desdeamericaconamor.org
