Dear all,
I am an administrator, bureaucrat and checkuser on the Romanian Wikipedia. I have contacted the current owner of domain wikipedia.ro asking him to consider donating the domain to Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (there is no local chapter in Romania). He's considering the option, but in the meanwhile he has offered to allow us use of the domain -- in other words, he asked for the appropriate nameserver IP addresses he should associate with that domain (obviously, that should lead to the content currently served at ro.wikipedia.org). Could that be arranged? If so, please provide the respective IP addresses so I can pass them on to him.
In a different train of thoughts, should he agree donating the domain altogether to WMF, can WMF to take ownership, or is that against any policy?
Best regards, Gutza
Ideally it shouldn't be a redirect to ro.wikipedia.org, but a portal page that provides an entrance point to ro.wikipedia, hu.wikipedia, rmy.wikipedia, de.wikipedia, uk.wikipedia, tr.wikipedia, ru.wikipedia, tt.wikipedia, sr.wikipedia, sk.wikipedia, pl.wikipedia and cs.wikipedia. So, all the languages spoken in Romania. Our subdomains are language codes, but the top-level domains are country-specific.
See for example http://wikipedia.ch/ or http://wikipedia.de/.
