An anonymous contributor has donated 200 EUR for European domains.
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?)

A Google search found a few good sites for cheap domain name registration:
*web.com, 6.95/yr, but no foreign domain extentions *http://www.itic.de/Registrar-Domain/ has .de domains for 8 Euro and other domains for more money. *idotz.net has a lot of different tld's available but isn't as cheap as the above two.

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,
