I was doing this for the 8 or so domain names I bought for the foundation but
one day my password didn't work anymore. My request to Jimbo asking for the
password to my GoDaddy account was never acted upon (there are several domain
names controlled by that account that are not yet owned by the foundation -
such as Wikiveristy.org and WikiGIS.org). I'm sure this was just an oversight
since my password was near impossible to remember.
