Although you do have a point here, just to be complete, the number of
characters for en.wikipedia.org is of course longer. You would have to
compare en.wp.w.org/Example with en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Example - which makes
it 12 vs 22 (+article name), which is already more significant. Of course

Nice ideas. For reference, here are the current usage options of enwp.org:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Tl-lomas/enwp.org
And here are a few ideas to extend that (in transparent ways):

(Please pardon my not quoting earlier emails)
I think a URL shortener is a great idea if we can make it work right.
We do need, however, to sort out our issues, e.g. the following list:
*Choice of domain name(s) (or a TLD)
**Acquisition of domain name(s)
**Registration of TLD (if applicable)
wi.ki, on the other hand, would be safe in this regard :)
By the way, since no one at WMF offered to send the email requesting a
donation/price reduction of the wi.ki domain, I'll do it as the president of
Wikimedia Portugal, with my @wikimedia.pt email. Hopefully that'll give me
some leverage --
A while back, I think the WMF got offered the enwp.org domain for
free, which is a fairly oft used shortener. Does anyone remember what
ever happened to that offer?
