That's understandable. But it's not a sustainable solution. Eventually Scheme is going to need like 20-30 subdomains under schemers.org, preferably scheme.org. Whether it takes a year or five years to set things up is another matter, but I think the common name and domain is essential for community-building and makes it much easier for newbies to wrap their head around Scheme. > The good thing is that "srfi" has the same number of characters as "list". > Furthermore, it's good for people to know that the lists are under the > aegis of SRFI, so they can quickly figure out where to turn if they need > help with them.

Since the current lists are already under srfi.schemers.org, aliases would probably have to remain in place if they are ever moved under a new subdomain.
