I'm still not convinced this should be separate from the Wikipeople/Wikimorial
idea (oral histories can be sub-pages off of articles on the individuals giving
the history), but as the official Wikimedia cybersquater, I went ahead and
registered wikimemory.org and hereby give that domain to the foundation (it's
already in the foundation's GoDaddy account so physical transfer is already
complete). 

I see that wikimemory.com has already been registered by Marshall Poe. Good.
