I can't really see en.wp.w.org (11 characters, four components, hard to 
remember) as being that much better than en.wikipedia.org (16 
characters, three components, easier to remember, contains the Wikipedia 
branding).

enwp.org, on the other hand, is 8 characters long, has only two 
components, and is a natural contraction of en.wikipedia.org.
