Everyone else on the call liked OD, so going with that. Here are the notes

...
2. OKD or OD for the main definition name; see
http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/od-discuss/2013-June/000427.html

* RP: Open Definition [for Data / Content / Knowledge] seems good.
  * URL: http://opendefinition.org/current/  (or latest)?
* Baden / Herb / Andrew: like breadth, simplicity of “Open Definition”

DECISION: Open Definition by default.
...

We didn't actually discuss the URL. I don't have a strong feeling.
Anyone commenting on/alternative to /current before I move it there
(I'm pretty sure the WordPress install has a redirect plugin,
otherwise I'll ask someone to set up redirects at lower level)?
