Looks like the Scipy Conference uses CrossRef for its DOI management:
We have several questions to resolve here, I think:
I think we should use this blog post and the associated REMARK as the first test case.
It's not clear to me what we should do in the short run. I'd put this fairly high on your priority list.
PS. Last summer we had a discussion about how we would like people to cite us, which resulted in the acknowledging page.
Re your questions:
My sense is that we should figure out question 2 first, then once that's set up we can use our permanent url to get a DOI from whoever we decide for question 3.

Maybe a redirect is safer -- there are a number of items which are migrating between the REMARK and DemARK and HARK/example repos based on judgments about their content and structure, and based on that experience I feel that it might be wisest for the permanent link to be something we can rethink as the content evolves. Possibly the right solution is that at some point each "object" needs a UUID in some database, and its name is just a fallback. "At some point" being the operative phrase.
In discussing what we ought to do to make our first blog post (for TFI) "professional", @sbenthall proposed that one such thing would be to make sure that there is a "permanent url" associated with that content.
That seems like a good idea. Actually, I'd take it further, and say that we should figure out how to get a doi (digital object identifier) for such items. And we ought also to investigate what would be necessary to get doi's for our other content, like REMARKs and DemARKs.
In particular, a doi should be among the things that characterize a "first-class" or proper REMARK.
