My understanding is:
(1) http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Jefferson should be the same page as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Jefferson.
www.wikipedia.com/wiki/ and www.wikipedia.org/wiki/ will point to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/. So yes.
...
(2) We should not use http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/* for anything else in the future.
I agree - it should only be used to redirect people to en.wiki in order to preserve current links from outside Wikipedia.
(3) The portal page should be at http://www.wikipedia.org/,
I also agree here.
anything that is about the foundation could for example be in http://www.wikipedia.org/foundation/*,
Why not simply www.wikipedia.org/ ? The word "foundation" is still in English which isn't necessary and might seem odd as the URL for the French translation of the by-laws.
