At zanimum's request, a new domain name for Wikijunior was discussed
at a Wikimedia meeting
(<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_meeting_agendas>) on
September 18 (which was attended by the board, people with official
positions, and local chapter reps).
I asked at that whether Wikijunior should move to its own domain name.
Anthere said that she does not consider it the board's decision alone
and suggested the Wikibooks community should decide this, thinking a
new domain meant a new project. I felt the project was already
approved (since it's running on Wikibooks and we have a grant for it),
and said that I didn't see the move to a new domain as a huge issue.
Jimmy clarified that the proposal is for Wikijunior be a place to put
'finished' work, with Wikibooks still being the development community,
so it would be a 'view' on the work, not a new project per se. I asked
whether there had been any objection to it moving, but this wasn't
clear. Jimmy proposed that we notify the Wikibooks community that
we're saying yes to this, but giving a week or two for people to voice
objections, and if there are none then we can approve it and let the
Wikibooks community work out how to proceed.
So, if there are any objections to moving the finished Wikijunior
texts to
Wikijunior.org and keeping the editing processes on
Wikibooks.org, please raise those, either here, or at the Wikibooks
Staff lounge (<http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikibooks:Staff_lounge>).
