it makes sense to me to have plugins.textpattern.com instead of txp.org. Same for docs.texpattern.com, forum.textpattern.com etc.
I favor this idea too for the obvious benefit it provides with the usability of URLs. I would think, if this was an actual change and not just a virtual one, it might be in favor of Filip (at Joyent) to as he tends to be the one giving Txp servers any focus. It’s assumed, fewer servers to handle might lend to more .com attention when the times really count (presumingly).
However, I’m guessing — only a guess — that one thing against this is that by keeping different domains, it keeps volunteer hands away from hands-off places (a .com safeguard of sorts).
At any rate, the idea has a lot of merit.
EDIT: And I might add that now would be a good time to give it serious consideration with the new integrated site theme seemingly at hand. No comments at all are taken as same as it ever was.

This is a continuation of the topic I began previously planning a wireframe of …textpattern.org. (Ed. Link added for clarity.)
@stopsatgreen,
You haven’t been around poking this project. I hope you didn’t get discouraged. These kinds of projects (i.e., horse by committee) are not easy, and by their nature require even more aggressive poking to ensure a camel isn’t produced. Regardless of the actual development work (i.e., who’s going to do it, how, and when), there’s nothing wrong with kicking around the concepts and visual plans to shed light on it. In short, I hope to see you back in the saddle soon on this effort.
Most likely when the other projects stabilize (.com, .net) other people will pitch more thoughts to this one.
One thing I would suggest is not create a new thread for every stage or idea of the project. The forum is too confusing as it is. Use this thread and let it grow. Long threads can have their problems too, but they are decidedly better than having multiple threads on the same subject. (TextBook perhaps being a topic of exception here because it has it’s own forum in the Forum—I would argue unnecessarily—and thus singular threads are expected there.)

Hi Destry,
Not at all; I’ve just been away on holiday, left my previous job and am about to start a new one. But it’s still very high on my list.
