Well that changes everything (I missed that email). I don't agree with his decision but what is done is done. Precedent has been set and now we will have to pony up the money to reactivate wikipedia.de and also start to buy up other country code wikipedia domains as well (prioritizing based on use/size of the particular language versions).
Sigh. IMO that would be money better spent on hardware.
This sounds very much like dumping money into a bottomless pit.
Not necessarily. I registered wikipedia.hu, other wikipedioholics can do their own country. I think most of the countries can help in this. One reg per country isn't that scary, if the country have at least 3-4 editors, or even if has only one, dedicated. ;->
