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/>.
