Free hibernate.org! The Hibernate team is looking for $1888 to buy hibernate.org from a commercial domain hoster.

The goal of this action is not to get us rich (and others poor ;), but only to buy the domain. To give you an impression on how much money is needed: Hibernate is downloaded 500 times every day. The Hibernate website has more than 15.000 pageviews and 1.500 visits each day. If we estimate that every 10th person downloading Hibernate donates a dollar, we can free this domain in a little more than one month!

I'll probably donate. While we're at it, is anyone willing to help us Roller developers buy roller.com for $15,000? ;-) This is down from $20,000 when I originally inquired. No word on how much for roller.org. Posted in Java at Jun 24 2003, 11:24:00 AM MDT 1 Comment

$1888 for a domain name? What a waste! I'd rather buy hibernate.it and donate it to the project, then if we collect $1888 we can use them on bandwidth or storage.
