I suggest that interested people create an Individual

You'd get funding from WMF, if approved, to hire a designer to make it
cool looking (not ugly Wikipedia) and create the right team to make it

I think it's the logical step. Just "doing it" is fine, but, I think
creating a space with the back up of the community (WMF and editors)
is ideal.
