We've already decided on "http://fedoraproject.org/anaconda/anabot/recipe/%5Bvariant%5D/%5Bversion]". I've also talked about it with Anaconda developers and they seem to like it. I think that the chance the URL will work and point to something irrelevant in the future is very small.

But if you have objections against it, we can still change it.

Hello,

My team would like to open-source our testing tool for Anaconda. Currently it’s using our custom XML namespace with Red Hat URI. We think it would be best to change it to fedoraproject.org. Is there some kind of process for reserving/registering it for our tool? Or are we free coming up with some URI like: "http://fedoraproject.org/anaconda-testing/tool-name/recipe" and using that as our namespace?

It's probably safer to go with something like

http://anaconda-testing.fedoraproject.org/tool-name/recipe

to avoid cluttering the fedoraproject.org/* space with things we need to keep up with forever even if we change what that site runs on or points to.

I'm not sure that I understand, maintenance of what?

It's not a legal concern, but I think it's a reasonable practical one. Can you please file a ticket with Fedora Infrastructure https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issues to validate which would be less ongoing maintenance? Thanks.
