I can't face looking at the various .org, .net, etc. domains just now,
but I've made a first pass at sorting out the list of known ccTLDs -

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Domain_names#National_domains_.28ccTLDs.29

Some of these are unregistered; quite a few are inactive or holding
pages; at least three are pretty clear squatters.

(As an aside, I note that Bomis owns wikipedia.co.uk, but this is
currently inactive - could we poke someone to get this up again?
Redirecting to the portal at wikimedia.co.uk would be great...)
