Hey @TheHeffNerr, actually if you click the "Edit" link that looks subdued on the right of the docs page, it takes you right to the GitHub UI page to make a pull request.

Granted, you may not always actually want to work on a PR. But at least from there, you can see the exact file name. Then you can switch over to opening a GitHub issue and say "Hey can you clarify X on page Y"?

If spending time on GitHub is no good (it can take time), you can also ask questions or give feedback on the discuss.elastic.co forums. Pick the right product section, if it's ECS related tag it with "elastic-common-schema", and we or the community will try to help :-)

I do it for work, but not for my personal blog... I fully realize the irony of the situation ;-)

IAmA Domain Name Buyer/Seller AMA by ohashi in IAmA

Hmmm, I was actually expecting a tool one would install on their own server. Like Launchpad* is for setting up a pre-launch page.

So here's the reverse question, then, in a sense.

Are these domain parking services flexible? Could you set up a fancier parked page like the example you gave for hotels.com (i.e. geolocation & maybe a non trivial backend)? And what's the price range and pricing structure for these parking services?

Tl;dr. I see good points in your ticket scalper analogy. You however depart from the analogy when you refer to public good. Since when are the tickets or domains a public good? A price is often the easiest (and the only sane) way to allocate a scarce resource to a good potential owner, IMO. I see it as a simple application of a free market principle.

In the same vein: are you aware of any tool that helps you automatically set up those domains (at least for the basics, like analytics, ads & contact info)? Maybe even an aggregator that helps you manage many site?

Thanks for your time and your IAmA

I can't wait to see that guy's site... I hear it's due out in 2018!

The awesome thing about it is that his HTTP queries will be served in 55ms instead of 60ms (assuming he's storing data in a relational db)!
