Plone.com domain
Calvin reported that we now have control of the plone.com domain! (w00t!)
Preliminary discussion of how to use the plone.com domain. Mark recommended having a separate site at plone.com, as a public-facing marketing site rather than the community/development, which should stay on plone.org. Unanimous agreement.
Mark reported that the marketing team has been working on plans since the board decided to pursue the domain, and is going to kick it into gear on developing site architecture so that we can work on content and implementation as part of Plone Conference 2011.
Steve raised the notion of making plone.com very internationalized, as a second-iteration priority.
