Normally I register via
register.com, because I have been happy with
their 'automatic renewal' service, but with this wikipedia.de fiasco,
obviously that isn't a good enough reason.
So, I'm looking for advice on:
1. Cheap places to register the domains
2. Which domains we ought to register. Presumably we should
prioritize in order of popularity somehow?
Possibly some other eager patron would like to subsidize the purchase
of domains for another region of the world? (Pacific rim?)

Hello Jimbo,
For france one need to pass through a registrar to get the french domain.
You will have to either own a trademark name, be a company in france, an
association.
This will lead you to domain such as:
wikipedia.tm.fr (trademark)
wikipedia.fr (company)
wikipedia.asso.fr (association)
everyone can get a nom.fr though (could be like name.en )
cheers,
