We have nodes about DNS and Hosting, but nothing about URL, the technology that are inextricably linked to them. And I think it is important, for fullness of the roadmap (and student's understanding), to add a node about URL.
I made a sketch how I see this:
What do you think?
URL/URI are part of understanding DNS, so it should already be covered?
@larshei, the URL involves understanding the abstraction of the domain name, not the other way around. Because the domain name is part of it. But besides it there are also things like "protocol" (http(s), ftp and etc.), "port", "path", "query" and "fragments". Which are quite an important part for understanding web-technology in general, both for the frontend and the backend.
Thank you for opening the issue. We don't want to convolute the roadmap by mentioning every available option. Someone learning about the internet would automatically come across the URL and learn about it, so no need to convolute the roadmap further imho.
This has also been mentioned in the contribution docs. Thank you for your suggestion though 🙏
