That's planned. Just haven't had a chance to do that.

This is standard DNS propagation. Even if we were to change the 
expiration to 1 hour, it may take 48 hours for to propagate the 
expiration update as well.

I am however planning to switch DNS at least 48 hours before we produce 
a tarball. Again, my time will be limited until tomorrow evening, so 
please don't be too much in hurry to see things happening until then.

Sorry, I changed it, and currently only Hans and Xiaofan have the new 
one. I just sent the new one to you. If you want to take care of the 
DNS, please go ahead. I think libusbx.org should point to the wiki.

Segher expressed concerns that Peter or Daniel could come after us if we 
reused that content. I'd also like us to switch to MediaWiki rather than 
reuse Trac, as I find it more flexible for wiki (more customizable), and 
we're supposed to be an improvement over libusb, not just a copy. Plus 
we already voted to use MediaWiki.
That doesn't mean I don't want to use trac for bug reports.

Also, I don't want to decide things we are going to get stuck with in a 
rush.

That's good to know.

You have now been added, though I'm not sure which areas you want to 
access, so you have the default access perms.
