Subject: Donating/offering domain wikipedia.ro for use
To: foundation-l-owner(a)lists.wikimedia.org
Hi,
I'm ro:Utilizator:Strainu. I would like to forward here an email sent
on wikitech-l by a colleague, as I think it's more appropriate to post
it here.
Short background: the ro.wp community obtained use of the wikipedia.ro
domain and we were discussing the options about what to do with it.
The original messages can be seen at:
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2008-November/040285.html
(and the following)

(the message below)

In that context, I have a couple of questions for the
list:
1. Can we use the Wikipedia trademark in the absence
of a local chapter?
We'd obviously abide by the same principles as Wikipedia (no ads,
Wikipedia-centric content, collaborative management by the ro.wiki
community), but I don't want to risk the odd legal trouble over such a
minor issue.
2. Is there any framework available for collaborative
development that
we can use? We could probably open a Sourceforge project, but I'd rather
keep things in house if possible (and I have no intention of setting up
repositories and interfaces for this purpose on my own).
Thank you,
Gutza
Best Regards,
Strainu
