Is there a good place to ask about the following? I thought I had 
previously seen some Usenet groups specifically about web development 
but for some reason cannot find any just now.

My query is about having a "normal" URL which could be lengthy, and 
allowing there to be a truncated form. For example, a full/long URL 
could be of the form

 
http://mysite.com/article-1053/what-are-the-main-reasons-why-the-web-might-need-to-have-shorter-forms-for-certain-urls

The shorter, truncated one would be

   http://mysite.com/article-1053

I wanted to ask for some advice on different ways of shortening the URL 
(as the URL form, above, is just one option), about which form would be 
best as canonical, and a related matter about 301 (i.e. permanent) 
redirects to remove the usual "www." prefix.

Any one here aware of a Usenet group that would be good for such queries?

James
