AHK

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

AHK may stand for:
AutoHotkey, a programming language for creating Windows scripts and applications

Akha language (ISO 639-3 code "AHK"), spoken in China and Myanmar
Allied High Commission, in German "Alliierte Hohe Kommission", a commission established by the U.S., UK, and France in 1949 to regulate and supervise the development of the newly established Federal Republic of Germany
Acid House Kings, a Swedish indie pop band
Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunsten, a Dutch vocational university of arts

I see room for confusion.

Lastly, the domain name (and thus association and clarification) will of course play a part. I suggest an URL that emphasises the fact that AHK is a programming language, thus ahkcode or ahkscript seem fine.

What can be more accurate and identifiable than "ahkscript", seems so elegant. It is what it is

thanks good catch

So, website will be http://www.ahkscript.com ? (as http://www.autoitscript.com)
We will have to always use "AHK" when we speak in forum ? (to promote)
"AutoHotkey" only on wiki and info and source page ? (as PHP or other)
Application will still be AutoHotkey.exe or AutoHotKey with extension .ahk ?
... just for accelerate migration and hold habits and keep 1.1

Maybe it can be a good thing to point AutoHotkey to download pages, and AHK will point to community pages

Nice..

can someone set up and collect community feedback on that domain name?
I can make it a seemless move but i want to hear a final domain name choice
I think these all have great potential

but i must say i like 3 and 4 the best

I like the change to AHK. It is what I prefer to type anyways when talking about AutoHotkey.

I also noticed that ahk.org was for sell but I have no idea what a site address like that goes for. They want you to make an offer but from what I have seen most all three letter addresses are quite expensive to buy.

I like ahkscript.com and ahkscript.org. The script part makes it descriptive for those who have no idea what ahk stands for. I am assuming those addresses are available and I would just register them both and have one redirect to the other. I believe the keeping of a web address registered each year is pretty cheap. It is generally the hosting that cost more. Heck for $10 - $15 a year I would keep Auto-Hotkey.com and have it redirect.

AHKscript.com looks pretty good.

I intend to maintain the redirect
the .org is cheeper between the 2 and is favored by open sourceness

Soo true

btw, in german "Ahk" is also an abbreviation for "Anhängerkupplung" (trailer coupling).

I like ahkscript.com the most.

AHKscript.org , perfect.

02 Oct 2013, 19:55

Does Lexikos have an opinion?

02 Oct 2013, 19:59

What about Tomauto? Sounds good.

It was also one of budRich's suggestions, but i think i didn't even noticed it last time...

02 Oct 2013, 20:12

i dont know... AHKscript.org and ahkscript.com both seem cool... but im still ambivalent ...

I'd prefer

AHK-Community

or

AHK-Scripting

I know... Some of these are very interesting, but currently I feel Foundation is a keyword, here, and maybe when poly is too old or retired (long time ahead

) the autohotkey.com domain will surely be freed.. So somehow I feel like we're "betraying" new users by confusing them between autohotkey ahkscript etc... Id say that this forum is more like.. The current (in progress) autohotkey foundation forum... I do not necessarily disagree, it's just a thought... Even though, apparently we need legal "work" to be done, to be officially a foundation, I still feel that the goal (the basic principles) of a foundation can still be achieved, without all that paper finished prior to action...

Oh well, I hope I didn't write any confusing sentences..
