So long as <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org">commons.wikimedia.org</a> permanently redirects such a thing would be fine.<br><br>Erik what do you think of the Meta - Commons merger idea of mine btw? I know it contradicts your proposal a bit, but an alternative is merging wikimedia related community stuff. Meta doesn't have to be standalone.
