@jcfr @pieper @lassoan @cpinter

Would it be possible to add  
[dev.slicer.org](http://dev.slicer.org) as a redirect to [https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/Developers](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/Developers)?

This would be easier to tab into an address bar and start typing dev (all left-hand!) which would probably bring it up as a predictive completion in most browsers.

Thoughts?

Edit: other for thoughts

Good idea. It seems that by far the most common is the “developer” prefix, so I think we should use that instead of “dev”.

Great idea 👍

I just sent a request to @freephile to that the redirect is created, we will update this thread when the redirect is setup.

When done ,we will have

`https://developer.slicer.org` (and `http://developer.slicer.org`)

redirecting to

[https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/Developers](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/Developers)
