Do we want a URL shortener?

[Ainali]

For our communications, and perhaps social media and the podcast in particular, it might be nice with short and catchy URLs for assets that we are particularly keen to spread. For instance, our beautiful Case for support PDF lives on https://files.publiccode.net/nextcloud/index.php/s/Cb2BN2mn9jzggRz and to sign up to our newsletter and community call one goes to https://odoo.publiccode.net/survey/start/594b9243-c7e5-4bc1-8714-35137c971842

A downside with URL shortening is that the real target is obscured, it is less transparent to the audience. Although, one could question how much value the transparency the example URLs really gives to a human.

It is of course also one extra tool to maintain. Still, I believe the gains might be worth the costs.
