I think the problem with spacepope.org is that the TLD could be perceived as
being un-serious, despite the fact (or perhaps because of the fact) that
it's hilarious.  For example, I would feel a bit dumb giving a talk at NSF
headquarters where I put up "yt (Turk et al. 2011; yt.spacepope.org)," or
more generally when trying to sell the code to somebody who doesn't know any
more about it than what they can infer from the domain name.
