Can still be done later. The problem is the lack of time. If you wait to 
long there are to many links to the new location of the english 
wikipedia that can not be broken. If there is no fundamental objection 
to put the English wikipedia at en.wikipedia.org then that must be done.
What to do whit www.wikipedia.org can wait (a littel.)
