Hi Ævar,
if I understand it correctly you suggest setting up www.wikipedia.is and send all queries there to is.wikipedia.de.
The main reason we want this now is that we indent to send out a press release about the 1 million articles plus our own little paragraph about the Icelandic wikipedia. Having wikipedia.is would go down better with the Icelandic press than some .org domain due to reasons specified in the original message.
What i was asking, or meant to ask is whether it would be possible to change the rendering of [[is:* and [[:is:* from http://is.wikipedia.org to http://www.wikipedia.is both in interwiki links and in in line text.
So the traffic would still cost more because people end up at wikipedia.org but the most of the non-geeks will visit the site because its TLD is .is? Was that what you meant?
Yes, however i meant not to setup a redirect domain but change the official domain from is.wikipedia.org to wikipedia.org, if we just wanted a redirect we could set that up ourselves without any assistance from wikimedia.

Thomas
