Over at Wikinews, we've just started using a new url shortening
service-enwn.net for our twitter feed. You'll need to talk to

Shouldn't we set up our own URL-aliasing service?
This would also have the advantage that you could be sure that the

I control enwn.net. We just set it up primarily for our Twitter feed. That
being said, I've already had requests to make it available for external
users - so that's in progress, and I can expand it to allow all WMF sites
(not just wn).
Otherwise it does support short redirects for CurID.

If we forget about politics and who-did-what, what is the common grounds
between us and them? To me it seems like they want us to use their

seems fairly similar to the Galleri NOR -case.

I do not think that WMF should betray the Public Domain. The largest
possible resolution is good enough for scholars and people who wish to
explore the heritage items. Please note that Wikimedia Commons is not

Not really. Remember there are a bunch of other collections. Many will
be looking to use the NPG's business model. National maritime museum,
Imperial war museum, British library, Various national archives. Can't
afford to buy them all off.
It's worth noting
