Ummm... I don't think that anyone looks for information by trolling subdomain names. If I am looking for python information, I go to www.python.org or python.org. I would never guess "business.python.org".

Seems to me that what we need is content and let the search engines bring on the masses.

For a subsite aimed at businesses, business.python.org is obvious and easily remembered. Not all businesses are corporations. 'about' and 'why' are not specific at all.

I think such a subsite, linked from the main site also, would be a good idea. It should explain both why (including success stories) and how (including employment/contracting) to use Python in business. Pieces could come from the existing site. I think the mere existence of such a site would constitute a message to businesses that Python is ready for business. I suspect the existence of even a skeletal site would attract contributions to build it further. Correspondingly, perhaps there should also be a science(or scitech or learning).python.org with pages on Astronomy, Bioscience, Chemistry, Mathematics, Education, etc. Perhaps the scipy and other science application groups would help. With two subsites for the main application areas, this would leave www.python.org to focus on the language itself. Terry J. Reedy
