I'm not sure how to interpret Graham's words in this regard.  But
while i'd like the domain name to settle quickly and once-and-for-all,
i'll try not to push too hard for a decision if the community wants to
wait.

Really?  For me two posts per month qualifies as a "barely active
blog" and one post per month is a "half-dead blog" :o)  I think people
would forget that such a blog exists if it was updated so infrequently
- similarly to how we forget about LilyPond Report...
For example, you might've seen my post about crowd engraving
(http://lilypondblog.wordpress.com/2013/06/04/crowd-engraving-whats-that-part-1/).
 I already have drafts for another 3 parts, and quite frankly we
(together with Urs) could elaborate on this topic for a long, long
time.  I don't imagine having 1-month pauses between these parts!

Thanks :)  However, it actually would be unbearable for me to slow
down so much.  It was already hard (for me and Urs) to restrict
ourselves to post no more than 1 time per day.
Frankly, 1 post per week is the _slowest_ pace at which i expect to be
able to blog continuously. (unless i completely run out of ideas, but
that's quite improbable.)

best,
Janek
