IMO we should register digikam as digikam.org this would
prevent companies from using the trademark to drive internet traffic
to their website.

additionally hosting companies like godaddy.com etc provide bulk
domain registrations. IMHO we should also register domains like
digikam.{org,net,....} they are quite cheap and also help drive
digikam traffic to digikam's website.
