There's an idea Jeroen Roovers posted (message |
| 22 |
<20051120020737.1dc2ee42@××××××××.lan> ) that would, AFAIK, solve the |
| 23 |
problem for infra, while still giving AT/HTs a distinctive address. |
| 24 |
Unfortunately, noone seemed to pickup on it besides me. (No other |
| 25 |
comments to the subthread, thus I'm changing the title this time around, |
| 26 |
hoping to get a bit better response.) |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Here's the proposal again. If there's an issue with it, shoot it down, |
| 29 |
but from here, it certainly seems to fit the bill. Again, I'd /love/ to |
| 30 |
say I was the one that came up with it, but I wasn't. =8^) |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
* give [AH]Ts a <name>.tester@g.o address. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
- It's not a subdomain, so the existing infrastructure should have no |
| 35 |
problems with it. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
- testername.tester@g.o remains distinctive enough it should |
| 38 |
alleviate any doubts or confusion over status. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
- the biggest possible objection I can see is that the root, |
| 41 |
tester@g.o, is already in use. Thus, in particular, I'd like to |
| 42 |
see his reaction to this proposal. We could, of course, take the same |
| 43 |
idea and change the root, if necessary. My previous suggestion, intern, |
| 44 |
would work, or assistant, or something else. Tester is of course short |
| 45 |
and concise, but intern or assistant would be more generic, allowing the |
| 46 |
possiblity of other non-tester additions, in the future, with the same |
| 47 |
root. |
