As an example, Mimi and I mentioned "chandlerproject.org" several times 
to Scoble, but he used "www.osafoundation.org" anyway -- probably 
because he Googled for "chandler".

That said, I'm currently thinking that the redirect is a bad idea. 
Having *no* OSAF link as a top search result for "chandler" is worse 
than the current state of affairs.

Perhaps our efforts should be around:
- improving the page rank of chandlerproject.org (which means getting 
more people to link to it)

- making sure link to chandlerproject.org is very clear from 
osafoundation.org. Heikki recommended putting logo right next to 
"Looking for Chandler?" link, for example.

Cheers,
Katie
