I just did a Whois for wikimedia.eu and I got "Firestorm Forces Ltd" as applicant. Are they somehow connected to "us"? Regards Michael On 2/7/06, Jean-Baptiste Soufron <jbsoufron(a)gmail.com> wrote: -- An eternity is very, very long, especially towards the end

Okay, so according to [[meta:Domain names]] (very bottom of page), there seem to have been discussions already in november/december 04 (sic) and later again in september 05 about who shall apply for the domain (Wikimedia Foundation/local chapter/etc.). Have these talks been continued somewhere/was a decision reached? Michael -- An eternity is very, very long, especially towards the end
