Since http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Domain_names and http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Squatted_Wikimedia_domains have been moved to internal wiki (wrong imho), I post these here:
* wikipedia.gr has been squatted and is for sale at sedoparking.com. * wikimedia.gr has been bought by myself and is a portal to wikimedia projects (when there is a project in greek language, it links to that one) * βικιπαιδεια.gr (wikipedia in greek) has been bought by myself and is a redirect to el.wikipedia.org
I will do anything that is suggested by the Foundation with these domains.
Cheers,

Well, it has been moved to internal, because it may be quite damaging to write publicly which domains we own, which ones we would like to purchase one day in the future, as well as to publicly discuss how we intend to retrieve lost domains.
This said, I agree with you that it is a problem for those of you who are willing to help and secure domains.
We are right now setting up a task force to be in charge of all this. I expect announcement in the next few days. You'll have the opportunity to directly communicate with the people in charge.
Meanwhile, I copy your comments on internal.
Thanks a lot.

Hello,
A small report on this too:
Wikipedia.org.ve has been registered by a squatter, is not for sale yet but is not being used either (DNS is wrong)
Wikimedia.org.ve has been registered by me and is currently being used to setup the Venezuelan Chapter, like I've said in previous posts if the chapter doesn't go through, we'll happily cede/donate the domain to the foundation.
The good thing about the Venezuelan NIC is that you have to be physically in Venezuela to register a domain (It requires a deposit in a Bank that's only in Venezuela).
If there are other .ve domains that we should secure, please let me know through email.
Regards,
Damian Finol.

Hey Ant,
I already volunteered to work on Wikimania 2008 :), I had a chat with Theodoranian and told him I was more than available to participate and do whatever it is they need me to do, I'm also in the wikimania-l mail list :). I'll see if any of the other guys in Venezuela is interested, but is not going to be easy to raise money to go there (not to mention getting Visas). I'm already saving up money and now I have a grand total of 105$! out of 2400$ in Air fare :).
Anyways, if there's anything else I can do, either for the Foundation or to Wikimania, I'm available (I defend Thesis on Nov 20, so after that I'm pretty much done with university yay! :) ).
Regards,
Damian Finol Maracaibo, Venezuela.
