It is true that wiki is a generic term but it is slightly more complex than that. Top Level Design are the ones who initially applied to ICANN for .wiki to be created. see http://icannwiki.com/index.php/Top_Level_Design and http://dotwiki.org/ I don't know exactly how it will work, but it seems that .wiki is not yet available for individual application -- that starts in May: http://nic.wiki/sunrise-opens-corporate-wiki-strategies/ Incidentally, Top Level Design is run by Ray King, who has been a long-time part of the wiki scene in Portland. In addition to running domain-related businesses, he genuinely loves wikis :) He is, however, totally unaffiliated with Wikimedia. -- Phoebe -- * I use this address for lists; send personal messages to phoebe.ayers <at> gmail.com * _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
