Re-sending this...

I believe that this is important; we only want one presence.
http://foo.osgeo.org/ should not be returning the same content as
http://www.osgeo.org/

Hi all,
 
I think that we should make requests to osgeo.org on port 80 redirect to
www.osgeo.org to allow a more consistent image and to avoid offending
the SEO gods...
 
If .htaccess files are allowed and mod_rewrite enabled, dumping
something like this into an .htaccess file in www.osgeo.org 's document
root should work:
 
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   !www\.osgeo\.org    [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   !^$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$         http://www.osgeo.org/$1 [R=PERMANENT]

Jason
