A generic (eg non country-specific) top level domain that is short (on the order of 2 - 3) letters would be ideal. sourceforge.net has sf.net
Sourceforge doesn't have to deal with brand though.
The two most ideal domains are wp.net and wp.org
What about all the different languages: wp.de, wp.ja, etc, are they available? If not it will lead to more abuse.
whois says that wp.org is owned by telepathy.com, a us based internet focused group that does not seem to be greedy.
No matter who it is, if it's taken it will be a pain.
A well placed email by a wikipedia official asking for release would be a good thing.
Please keep the list aprised of your activity regarding short domain name search
It's already a pain to keep track of the domains that are owned (not to mention expensive). This would make it a lot worse.
