Excellent news about the flexibility of our existing crossref membership. Does that include being able to get a different journal ID prefix? Currently WikiJMed uses DOI:10.15347/XXXXXX https://doi.org/10.15347 for its articles. It'd be ideal if other WikiJournals had their own ID prefixes.
It may also be worth thinking about domain registrations such as WikiJSci.org and WikiJHum.org etc.
Thanks again for organising the financial side of things. I'm happy to help out writing the rapid grant application when you start it.
All the best, Thomas

Hi WikiJournal participants,
I've discovered that the Crossref membership of WikiJournal of Medicine can actually be used to assign DOI codes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_object_identifier to articles of multiple journals. For example, we can create DOI codes for the articles in WikiJournal of Science. If we want, we can assign it to the the articles of issue 0 https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_of_Science/Issues/0, or perhaps we want to wait until a peer review system is in place.
This feature changes my mind regarding future financing of WikiJournal. Since the Crossref membership is the main cost of our funding by rapid grants https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid, I think it would be better to apply on the behalf of the entire WikiJournal project instead of for WikiJournal of Medicine.
It's time to start preparing the grant for next year's expenses, so in any case I will now go ahead and register WikiJournal as a non-profit organization in Sweden, so that we can apply for a rapid grant as such an organization. I can take the treasurer position in the grant application, but feel free to nominate yourself of someone else too for it.
Best regards,
Mikael
