Title + domain about uncurled

[bagder]

I'm leaning strongly towards Uncurled with the subtitle Everything I know and learned about running and maintaining Open Source projects for three decades.

• It's short and sweet
• It includes a reference to curl without saying it is "a curl book" (it isn't)
• The topic is a bit about "untangling" and curl is a project that probably has taught me the most of what I include here
• It sounds a little like "debriefed" from the curl project, and it is...
• I can put it up on the domain name un.curl.dev

Renamed to Uncurled now and the rendered version can now be seen on https://un.curl.dev

Very strong points - I completely agree.

The domain is very clever too.

OSHHCIB doesn't roll off the tongue.

Maybe a subdomain on haxx or a .se domain ?

Most .com domains with open source in the name I could think of are already taken.

Right, so I'll ponder on the title for a bit more before making a decision. There's no hurry and I have more content to add so...

These are great, well done Twitter community.

My personal favorite is:
From Stockholm to Mars: How to Build an Open Source Project

It is great since it catches the eye and it shows the credibility - curl is indeed a two planet project and the practices / guidances in this book have contributed to it becoming what it is.

Case closed for now.
