A WebMaster’s view of Eclipse.org

Rants, praise and observations related to the technical and psychological challenges of running servers for a pretty busy site.

How do you misspell Eclipse?

I misspell Eclipse about 10 times a day. Most popular one is Eclispe. I’m obviously not alone: I ran a few searches on the Eclipse website and found some funny results (leaving news and mail archives out):

Eclispe (17)
Eclipes (4)
Eclpise (9)
Eclpse (2)
Eclipe (8) (in the Eclipse Platform API specification??)
Eclise (5)

There are probably hundreds more…

    A lot of these and other misspellings have been registered by domain squatters. I hit one today that would have innundated me with popups if I hadn’t been using Firefox. So do you feel flattered or just annoyed?

    Wayne accidentally sent an e-mail to ian@(wrongdomain).org some time ago, and an auto-reply advised us that Ian had “MOVED - click HERE”. Imagine my disappointment when I learned that it was a scam — Ian hadn’t moved, he was still in the office next to mine!
