#8205 — cdimage?? What should we call it?

Hey folks,

We called our main installer images distribution site
cdimage.debian.org a long time ago, when that was all it published and
most people downloaded images of CDs. Ummm. Things have moved on in
the intervening years, and this name is looking more silly over time:

 * lots of people are using USB sticks
 * we're providing live images that don't fit on CD
 * we're providing cloud images (Openstack so far, with others coming
   soon!)

So, I'm looking for suggestions. What should we call it? I had
initially thought that images.debian.org is more generic, but it's
also likely to confuse people into looking there for pictures... :-)

Please reply and let's see if we can come up with a better name.

Well, i created a Wiki Page for this, making it probably easier to
decide upon things. I copied the already proposed names there:

But it also has usb compatible images, pxe and other netboot images,
hd images, etc.

It is not just ISOs.

get.debian.org and redirections for every release like get.debian.org/$RELEASE
would be great.

FWIW, same here. It's a verb, short, straight to the point, and
memorable. I don't see the point of looking elsewhere :-)

Thanks, it'd been slightly annoying me over the past few years without
having quite triggered something more than an occasional 'meh' about
naming in this or that conversation.

Looking at the various proposals, those caught my attention:
 - get.debian.org
 - download.debian.org
 - install.debian.org
 - installer.debian.org

I like the “action” aspect of the first 3, the last one being a bit
different (yet appropriate).


Mraw,
KiBi.

I kind-of like the idea of pointing all of these to the relevant service.

And having get.debian.org as canonical maybe? But indeed I like the idea.

 Not only canonical but also gentoo does. 
 https://get.gentoo.org redirects https://www.gentoo.org/downloads/ 
 (and I like their newer website design...)

I think Lisandro meant "the canonical location," as in, "the normal name
that you'd use, with the others being merely aliases for it," not "the
name that canonical (the company) uses".

But yeah, that would work too :-)

And I think Lisandro meant it being the A name, with cdimage staying as a
CNAME so it's still reachable, rather than the other way around :-)
