Waldir ps - ok, even if we didn't get a price reduction from the current owner and have to buy it for the $992 it currently costs (see https://domaininfo.com/search_result_xml.asp?domain=wi&tld=ki¤cy=USD), we would have to pay $1,000/yr for the renewal ( http://www.tak.ki/what-we-do/domain-name-registration.html), which doesn't sound very cost-effective. But you'd think an email from, say, Jimmy Wales ;) could get a price reduction from the Telecommunications Authority of Kiribati, wouldn't you? :D pps - I just wanted to point out to a related thread, from 2010, in the Village pump: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28technical%29/Archive_76#URL_shortener_for_wikipedia.org_e.g._http:.2F.2Fwi.ki.2F_to_use_on_social_networking_sites_such_as_twitter.com _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
