I could, but they will likely want us to pay for the domain name.  I would
prefer if somebody who speaks German fluently could conduct those negotiations.

Nod. Another thing that should happen is applying the skin that Angela has been
working on.

I don't think it is currently possible to set HTML support based on whether or
not a page is protected. But that would be a very useful thing to have for the
foundation website since then we would not have to worry as much about just who
we allow to have accounts. 

Another idea would be to have full HTML support only on templates (if coding
such a thing would be easier to set per namespace). Then HTML support could be
restricted via namespace instead of protection status. I'm  pretty sure that
MediaWiki can already set access permissions based on namespace.

A set of fundraising pages and also various forms, such as signing up to be a
member or assigning copyright to the foundation, etc.
