Set up custom domain name for mapreader docs #249

Open rwood-97 opened 1 year ago

rwood-97 commented 1 year ago

Describe the solution you'd like Currently the docs are at 'mapreader.readthedocs.io' but it might be nice to have something like 'mapreader.io'.

The only problem here, I suppose is funding. A nice domain is nice to have, but how do we keep it sustainable long-term?

rwood-97 commented 4 months ago

Yep agree, I think this is low priority

@kmcdono2 we were talking about the website (which I've started early-early drafting/prototyping) at the Open Maps meeting.. what's your take on the website custom domain? We have a few options:

  1. It'd be pretty easy for us to set up a https://maps-as-data.github.io/mapreader static website.
  2. Another option is to have https://maps-as-data.github.io/ as the website address where both research applications of MapReader and MapReader itself can live. That'd be pretty easy to set up as well.
  3. (In conjunction with any of the two above) we can also have a custom domain. It'd cost some money, but we'd be able to set something up fairly long-term (as in, prepay for like 5 years ahead) if a grant would allow for that..

  1. Yes I think we should have the static website 100%
  2. It would be great if we could get mapreader.org (or . anything as long as it's not "ai")
  3. Yes , I will ask for this in the budget along with a branding budget to pay for some artwork. If we can't get it in Data/Culture I might be able to get it elsewhere.

Do we want to reach out to the Allmaps artist (Jules offered to connect us) to get a quote? I love that style! And it could be nice to have a similar visual language across both projects...

Would love that! I'm happy to connect with Jules re: this if you want, @kmcdono2!

kmcdono2 commented 4 days ago

Yes please!

kallewesterling commented 4 days ago

Done!

As for .org domains, here is a good price comparison: https://tldes.com/org If we want .io for instance, here is another comparison page -- it's quite a bit more expensive: https://tldes.com/io
