Which makes for a better URL?
gitorious.org/fossotf
or
gitorious.org/opensource-opentype
This is kind of a word-length-vs-clarity question. I'm not interested in debates about the term "open source" vs "FOSS" or the other alternatives. I think those questions are important, but I can't deal with them here. And in any case, the project in question is one that deals with OpenType support in permissively-licensed and in copyleft works.
Unfortunately, "OpenType" already starts with one of our generic keywords, which makes for trouble. And 'openopentype' sounded more like a protest movement against the OpenType spec (which is actually open, BTW).

(and, of course, there's already a "freetype", so "freeopentype"
& related permutations are also confusing)
gitorious.org/fossotf <- if I had to choose
As you may know. Gitorious is shutting down. So you'll have to host it yourself or hand it over to Gitlab, maybe. Does that help the naming problem? ;)
I actually put it on GitHub in the end?I didn't want that to
distract people from the naming question. Reality is that, wherever
it's hosted, we'd need a GitHub mirror for visibility.
