I have one (which is why I asked earlier about which name ended up
being chosen) - why are we committing ourselves (as "owners" of the
browser.org domain) to being the "minority browser support site", with
subdomains for lynx.browser.org, chimera.browser.org, etc., when the
only browser we have any intention to support is Lynx?  By committing
to such a non-committal domain name, we're opening ourselves up to all
kinds of arguments over who gets to be the "official" operators of
xyz.browser.org for any and all xyz that comes along.

I would have tried registering lynx-dev.org myself, except that I
don't have control over any local nameservers to list on the
application.  If a couple people would be willing to add this name to
their nameservers (either instead of or in addition to
lynx.browser.org), I would be willing to send out the application.
I'd also be willing to chip in a few bucks for the fees, provided
others do the same.  I could also help by collecting and forwarding
monetary contributions - an issue that hasn't been addressed so far
(AFAIK).
