.src, a TLD for developers, by developers.

This is a reboot of the excellent TLD.js idea, which turned out not to be possible because of ICANN restrictions on 2-letter TLDs.

This is a work-in-progress project, and we aim for it to grow into the piece of work that is to apply, pay for and manage a TLD. Everything must have a beginning.

Principles

.src is...

  • Affordable
  • Community-driven
  • Garbage-free (vs. parked domains, spam, and other garbage; hopefully)

The goal is to have a functional domain for developers to use.

In the meantime

We have issues to solve, questions to answer, plans to make, and stuff to organize. Those are organized in the issues section.

We are going to use this repo as a folder for everything (documents) we need. So we'll be drafting policies, applications, you name it.

So pitch in, create an issue, make a pull request, discuss them!

Let's get cracking!

Preliminary plan

  • Define the project
  • Raise awareness
  • Raise money
  • Create a managing entity
  • Wait for the next round of gTLD applications
  • Apply to ICANN
  • Get accepted
  • Manage the "thing"
