[Foundation-l] Shorter Url for non-latin languages

I like the idea.

Very nice url would be for example: http://en.wp.wmf.org/Az09Q . This would make possible to see which project the link leads to.

Since (26*2+10)**5 = 916132832 , five chars should be enough for all articles for ever.

If some universal url shortener was created, for example http://wmf.org/ , then 7 chars (3521614606208) would be enough for all projects. If not, the 8th char can always be added.
