get permission to use our name? Did you ask anyone before doing this?
I don't need any permission for domain registration.
No, but it is our longstanding custom that people should not use the name
"Wikipedia" for a separate website without asking first. Are you planning
to use this for-profit? Who is the owner of it? Will you donate the domain
name to the Foundation and assure me that you are not trying to separate the
Myanmar community from Wikipedia?
What do you mean NO?
I respect "Wikipedia", but not you.
It is not for profit and also mean content for
my.wikipedia.org.
However the donation will NOT go to
my.wikipedia.org.
We will NOT donate the domain name, instead I request the Foundation to
lease temporary domain name of
zawgyi.wikipedia.org. This will assue that
the Foundation has some control of our work.
It is rather appreance that
myanmarwikipedia.org is to seperate Myanmar
community, for those who love Zawgyi and for those who love Unicode 5.1.
What do you mean "costly"? There is ZERO COST to what Michael is
proposing.
We need to discuss at length for this issue.
Yes, I am glad we will now have a mailing list so I can understand what you
mean.
Could you clearify that Mr Eversion's proposed translation task is ZERO COST
or not?
