I looked a while ago for something like an Esperanto TLD. I thought, there must be some way to separate Esperanto sites from sites in other languages, you know, like www.example.eo (since EO is esperanto's ISO code)
I wasn't able to find anything, but I did realize a way something like this could be accomplished. We could all help out to buy a second-level domain, since we can't really get a TLD (well I guess we could, but it would take a while to convince the IANA). I know for a fact that Trinidad and Tobago sells .tt domains, and by my test of www.eo.tt, it's open. We could host a little redirection site here for Esperanto speakers, so a site could be like http://ekzemple.eo.tt (which would redirect to their own hosted site; we wouldn't host the sites. Like ekzemple.eo.tt could redirect to mysite.hosting.com). Many countries do have domains set up like this (.co.uk, .org.uk, etc.) and it would pretty much look like a normal TLD.
Just an idea, what's your take on this?

I always liked the current diversity of domains in the Esperanto world. It helps you improve your skills at recognizing two-letter domain name country codes!

I didn't notice it in previous versions. Go to www.openoffice.org and click on "native languages". You will find Esperanto in the drop-down menu. If you can download the Eo version, let us know. I downloaded the English version becaise I write more in English than in Esperanto.
