Nope, I don't think so either. We want a non-profit organization. When
Joachim Schmitz looked into this for EuroZope, he could find no
europe-wide organizational structure but found out that (say) a German
foundation would work fine too for this type of purpose.

If nobody know better (that there is a European style foundation), then
we'll have to base it in a country somewhere. Could be Sweden though
perhaps a euro-land country may be a trifle easier if people need to
pay money to it. Could basically be anywhere in Europe, as far as I'm
aware. But then I'm not very aware beyond this. :)

So:

  * there is no European-wide Foundation as a possibility, right?

  * if not, any special reasons to base it in a particular European country,
    or *not* any particular European country?

  * any other important points? :)
