Yep, we should use only one URL, I think that makes total sense. :)

Looking at the Dot, I think we have a very strong brand there, and on top of 
that it's highly functional in bringing high-quality content out there. The 
anecdote is quite nice actually, but I think it might be a good idea to 
replace the "KDE.NEWS" in the header with "dot.KDE" to reflect the "brand" 
dot.kde better. Everybody calls it the Dot, why not just call it like that?

Thoughts?
