I'm not quite sure why no-one has ever thought of it before, but the other week I had the strange urge to see what website a particular domain resolved to. It didn't resolve to anything and I was quite surprised to find it available and not being used for other dubious purposes, so I set about registering the domain. It seemed an obvious domain to use for the collection of CPAN Testers websites, so having sent out a few emails last week, I have set up DNS entries for the existing websites, just to make life a little easier for everyone to remember them all. The original domains are not changing, so you can still use those, but if you ever find yourself talking to someone about CPAN Testers and finding it difficult to remember the right URL, the new sub-domains might make it a little easier to remember them.
So, with limited fanfare and bunting, I give you:
In addition you can also send mail to discuss@cpantesters.org, which will be routed through to cpan-testers-discuss@perl.org. All other mail to that domain will be routed through to my personal address, and will be subject to my very aggressive mail filters
Well done! (Score:1)
And I especially like pass.cpantesters.org. I assume an email filter blocks all fail reports :-))))).
