+Hi,
+
+That would have been me. For now I forward mageia.nl to mageia.org through
+DNS. For this to work properly, the admin of the official mageia.org
+website has to edit their webserver configuration. The issue with
+www.mageia.nl not working was a typo on my side :-( which I now have
+fixed.
+
+That said, I realise I registered the domain in my enthusiasm and also
+with the hope to prevent an 'outside' party from registering it. We can do
+several things with it:
+
+1) Hand ownership of the domain over to mageia.org.
+
+2) Keep forwarding the DNS for now as it is.
+
+3) Set up a dummy page on my server redirecting to the official mageia.org
+page.
+
+4) Set up a Dutch forum dedicated to mageia on that domain.
+
+5) Hand ownership of the domain over to an existing NL based usergroup.
+
+6) Point DNS nowhere for now.
+
+Mageia staff can reach me on this email address if needed or tag me on IRC

+
+Thanks,
+
+Remco
