I agree, it is far from ideal to have our website on a domain we don't own. Even if we do get control of wikimedia.org.uk, we should probably try and get wiki.org.uk as well and redirect it (since we are Wiki UK Ltd.). _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_UK http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l
