Naming Conflicts
the following is a proposal to keep the domains community focused in case of competing interests; we are open for discussions
A naming conflict happens when two or more users request the same subdomain (because GitHub usernames are unique, this only happens with identical named repositories or if a repository name coincides a username)
In case of a naming conflict, the parties should try to come to a conciliation first. If the conflict persists the subdomain will be given to the owner of the repository with the most valuable page. GitHub stars (or follower in case of a User-/Organisation Page) will be used as measurement.
To give some reliability and an adequate perspective to the holders of subdomains, a reassignment will take place not before 3 months after the naming conflict appeared the first time and will not recure within 3 month after that.
To be on the safe side with your subdomain you should not request one for a personal fork of a prominent project such as "jquery" or "angular".
