A while back, I think the WMF got offered the enwp.org domain for free, which is a fairly oft used shortener. Does anyone remember what ever happened to that offer?

wi.ki, on the other hand, would be safe in this regard :)
By the way, since no one at WMF offered to send the email requesting a donation/price reduction of the wi.ki domain, I'll do it as the president of Wikimedia Portugal, with my @wikimedia.pt email. Hopefully that'll give me some leverage -- only a fraction of what an email coming from an @ wikimedia.org would, but hey, it's better than nothing.

Although, on the other hand, would this leave us too open to imitators, given that "wiki" is not a trademark? Consider the scenario of a group like, say, 4chan registering eng.wiki and filling it with assorted shock content; enough people might mistakenly visit the fake site to generate considerable bad publicity for us.
