New ICANN TLDs Are Live

BenBenBen writes "According to this story on the BBC, several of the new ICANN top level domains now have sites available. Examples are visa.info and afilias.info. " I'm still waiting to get my 'dot' TLD. The article doesn't say much new except it tells us a few biz and info sites that you can use if you just wanna see a new TLD working. I gotta say, it's pretty surreal.

    Eh.. I saw this post on the "VIM 6.0 Is Out" bored, and it kinda irked me there. It's not spelled "Koran" (assuming you're trying to refer to the Muslim scripture). It's "Qur'an".

    I guess I'll have to be grammar_nazi for now ;).

    It might be "Qur'an" in Arabic (or wherever it was borrowed from) but as an English word (loanword) it is "Koran". So the troll was right and you are wrong, if you're speaking about the english language. And I'm pretty sure that's what he was typing in.

    It is time for the site to move on, I intend to open it up for many contributors. I intend to get a few excellent orienteers and expeditionists to join me in making this site even better, and I intend to release it under the GNU Free Documentation License (but with some modifications to allow people to print and distribute printouts more easily).

    Have you considered using the Open Content License instead of hacking up Yet Another License (YAL)? Might be more along the lines of what you need...
