The mail list is described / named as: 

A list for linux audio users <linux-audio-user at ...

I can't help but think that using a domain name that doesn't include the 
phrase linux audio is confusing.  

I also don't think incorporating wiki into the domain name is useful for a 
variety of reasons--you can add wiki in the titles/descriptive text of the 
wiki itself, and you may put stuff on that domain other than a wiki.  Also, 
once you have a domain name like linuxaudio.org you can create a subdomain 
like wiki.linuxaudio.org at no additional cost (iiuc) and with no approval 
required.

The other name that makes sense (to me ;-) is to include user in the domain 
name, i.e., linuxaudiouser.org.  That doesn't seem necessary to me.

>From another point of view, besides the mail list, is there any (group) 
"entity" that already exists like the Linux Audio Users group?  (By this, I'm 
referring to people on the linux-audio-user mail list.)  

If not, might such a group evolve from this mailing list?

If so, (imho) this is another reason to pick a domain name including at least 
linuxaudio (and maybe user(s)).

Finally, if you consider a domain name other than linuxaudio(user).xxx, should 
you change the name and description of the mail list as well?
