 Felix and chicken hackers

 We've been discussing on IRC about restructuring the infrastructure so we
 can have a better organization for the project.  One of the topics is the
 domain names related to chicken.

 Currently we have too many domain names related to chicken: call-with-
 current-continuation.org, callcc.org, chicken.wiki.br, 3e8.org/chickadee,
 irp.oist.jp (trac) and some domains owned by elf which are not currently
 in use (chicken-scheme.{com,org} IIRC).  I hopefully could remove all the
 traces of galinha.ucpel.tche.br from our wiki.

 It's consensus that we need something simpler and clearer.

 An initial proposal would be having a single domain name and subdomains to
 hold things like wiki, trac, chickadee and such things.  We thought about
 asking Toby to give us the callcc.org domain, so we'd have:

  * [www.]callcc.org: the main page for Chicken. Would be a splash page
 about the project, containing quick info about the project, like a a brief
 description, links to the wiki, bug tracking, chickadee, mailing lists and
 chicken tarballs and sources.  www.call-with-current-continuation.org and
 chicken-scheme.{org,com} would redirect to it.

  * wiki.callcc.org: would point to the wiki machine.  chicken.wiki.br
 would point to wiki.callcc.org.  Maybe chicken.wiki.br can be deprecated
 in the future.

  * bugs.callcc.org: our bug tracking system.  Would point to Ivan's
 machine.

  * docsearch.callcc.org (or chickadee.callcc.org): would point to Jim's
 machine.

 Open questions:

  * Does this basic proposal sound ok?

  * Should (can) we use callcc.org?  It sounds good because it's a short
 form for call-with-current-continuation.org. Besides that, it's owned by
 Toby, which uses it for his doc search tool (which is outdated).
 Chickadee does what the current callcc.org search tool does.  Another
 domain suggestion or B plan (in case we decide for callcc.org but Toby has
 other plans for it)? call.cc has been suggested too, but we'd have to buy
 it.
