Could somebody who sprechen German take a look at this?

Have they been around as a wiki before our Wikimedia came into existence?

It actually looks like it's a test of someone who wantet to try to set up a wiki. Only the main page is in german, all other pages are obviously default pages in english. The page links to some other wikis using the same software
The header line reads in english: "Wikimedia is a non-commercial, non political organization for supporting the "Internet-how-it-once-was-thought-to-be"-idea using Wikis.
Probably we can ask if they leave us the domain...

Their version of Recentchanges, http://wikimedia.de/bin/search/Main/SearchResult?search=%5C.*&scope=topic&order=modified&reverse=on®ex=on&nosearch=on, suggests that it's been around since 2001. But it obviously was just in testing stages then. They don't even seem to have contained the word "Wikimedia" until 2003 July 10: http://wikimedia.de/bin/rdiff/Main/WebHome.
This is the person that we should contact: http://wikimedia.de/bin/view/Main/RaDaR. This unwiki wiki won't allow anonymous posts, but somebody could get an account there and ask, or there are some email addresses to try. This RaDaR guy seems to know English just fine, but an approach in German might be even better.

Hi,

Wikimedia.de seems to be a project bound to some progressive computer/ internet culture and politics projects, i.e. there are connections to the German Chaos Computer Club, to c-base, to the Informationsfreiheiten.de wiki (a connection of Berlin-based German Internet politics groups) and so on. I'm pretty sure they will disambiguate on their Wikimedia wiki, but I'm so sure they will give the domain to us. I'll send Radar a short notice explaining the situation (in German) and will inform this list about the outcome.
