Hi Quim,
From a technical viewpoint Wikimedia Labs has the perfect infrastructure and it would be pretty straightforward to move OpenGeoServer.org to Wikimedia Labs.
What is complicating things is that the last time I checked Wikimedia Labs has / had the policy only to host test & development server and any live service should use the Wikimedia Foundation production environment.
Which leaves already running Wikipedia related OSM & Web Map Service with no clear path forward until the new Wikimedia Foundation web mapping infrastructure has emerged.
Understood, thank you.
This leaves us with three possibilities (that I can see, maybe there are more):
* Wait and hope that the mapping infrustructure in Wikimedia production server is ready for you soon. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33980 seems to be the best place to follow, ask and help.
* Agree with Wikimedia Germany or Wikimedia Foundation an exceptional extension of the current funding until the new mapping infrastructure is ready to receive opengeoserver.org.
* Use Wikimedia Labs as a stepping stone to avoid your current hard deadline or budget negotiations to extend it, without depending so heavily on the current work on the new mapping infrastructure.
Does this picture reflect the alternatives? What do you think is the best option?
