Well that changes everything (I missed that email). I don't agree with his
decision but what is done is done. Precedent has been set and now we will
have to pony up the money to reactivate wikipedia.de and also start to buy
up other country code wikipedia domains as well (prioritizing based on
use/size of the particular language versions).
Sigh. IMO that would be money better spent on hardware.
This sounds very much like dumping money into a bottomless pit.
Not necessarily. I registered wikipedia.hu, other wikipedioholics can do
their own country. I think most of the countries can help in this. One reg
per country isn't that scary, if the country have at least 3-4 editors, or
even if has only one, dedicated. ;->
