It's been over a year since Marcello announced the change from gutenberg.net to gutenberg.org. Is there any particular reason why the PG header and footer inserted in newly posted texts refers to gutenberg.net in several places? Thanks! Mike Marcello Perathoner, on 19/09/2004 03:38, wrote:
As of my request ibiblio has changed our apache virtual host ServerName from gutenberg.net to www.gutenberg.org.
What?
Nothing changes in web site operation except one little particular (if you hit a non-existing url you get redirected to www.gutenberg.org instead of gutenberg.net).
Why?
The .org top-level domain is meant for non-profit organizations while the .net domain is meant for network infrastructure such as providers, backbones etc.
We own both gutenberg.net and gutenberg.org, but using the latter one is just more standard-compliant.
Although both urls www.gutenberg.net and www.gutenberg.org give exactly the same results, you should start using www.gutenberg.org in all publications, papers etc.
