I receive this mail today (look below for the contents)<br>
<br>
I just registered <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://digikam.org">digikam.org</a> as domain name through
Tom Albers compagny. But "digiKam.org" is not a legal name
registered (copyrighted as KDE.org or OpenOffice.org for ex).<br>
<br>
Do you think that we need to do it for the future ?<br>

IMO we should register digikam as digikam.org this would <br>
prevent companies from using the trademark to drive internet traffic<br>
to their website.<br>
<br>
additionally hosting companies like godaddy.com etc provide bulk<br>
domain registrations. IMHO we should also register domains like<br>
digikam.{org,net,....} they are quite cheap and also help drive<br>
digikam traffic to digikam's website.<br>
