I think the current options look like this
1. *Merge: *Where WikiJMed and other WikiJournal content is hosted on wikijournal.org (with hopefully maximum involvement by the WMF). 2. *Stay separate:* Where wikijournal.org continues as-is with product reviews and travel destination reviews. Academic journal content remains hosted at wikiversity (maintaining clearly separate identity and possibly competing for use of the name). 3. *Buy: *The WMF buys the wikijournal.org domain outright. Given his grant request https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Philip/WikiJournal.org/WikiJournal, I think Phillip likely values his domain in the thousands of dollars. It would also require the WMF to basically commit to wikijournals running as a full sister project.
I'll try to add to the discussions at v:Talk:WikiJournal_User_Group https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Talk:WikiJournal_User_Group#Developing_WikiJournal_project_at_wikijournal.org and the grant https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants_talk:Project/Philip/WikiJournal.org/WikiJournal today.

He won't accept USD 300. It has taken him too much work for that.

Hi all,
There's been some further discussion at:
https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Talk:WikiJournal_User_Group#Integration_of_c...
I think Philip needs to choose whether he primarily wants to be an author or an editorial board member of a wikijournal, because it would be an obvious conflict of interest if he was both.
We also need to to know what Philip is willing to do with the wikijournal.org domain. If he doesn't want to donate it, I think it's in order to apply for a Wikimedia grant to buy it from him for perhaps $300, which I think is in the order of what he payed for it.
Best regards,
Mikael
