Why this makes since. It will make it easier to break up the site
into 2 servers at some point. Including quaid idea of using
openshift. Before we make a change like this I would like to hear
from everyone if they think this is a good idea and if you see any
issues I am missing?
I personally have always preferred using a subdomain in this way
instead of "everything in www/".
The counter argument always made was the concern about how subdomains
are geeky, confusing, and unfriendly to people who think every website
starts with 'www'. Thus not a technical but cultural issue.
I think there are two responses to that argument:
* oVirt is more on the geeky end - it's does fairly deep plumbing, and
it's ultimately for serious sysadmin work. We can err on the side of
geeky and be safe.
* The real way people find the wiki is not by typing and guessing
subdomain v. subdirectory. It's by having it in the menu on the
website, which we will fix.
Ultimately, we can separate out the services in to subdomain or
subdirectory, both will work from different hosts, etc. From an Infra
view, though, I find subdomains easier to work with mentally, in
diagrams, when talking about services[1], etc.
