I just realized that we have to become a chapter before Wikimedia will
actually let us use the name "Wikisource" (though we don't have to get
incorporated first). So I guess now that we have a general idea of
what Wikisource Canada will look like, we can use that information to
finish the bylaws and then register with the WMF. The bylaws have
been almost done for a long time now, and I'm sorry that I'm taking so
long finishing them. Hopefully we'll be able to make them presentable
before people go to Wikimania in August.

The point of it may have been, but a chapter wiki not fitting into the
schema shouldn't matter. After all, the private/fishbowl wikis are
already not included in SUL, so there goes our "every Wikimedia
project".
Other chapters aren't hosted by the Foundation and don't have SUL, but
I don't think they have any problems with it: wikimedia.de,
wikimedia.fr, wikimedia.it, wikimedia.org.ar, wikimedia.org.au,
wikimedia.ch, wikimedia.cz, wikimedia.hk, wiki.media.hu,
wikimedia.or.id, wikimedia.org.il, wikimedia.tw/wikimania.tw, and
wikimedia.org.ua.
In the end, it's just whichever you decide. It seems that having your
own domain outside the WMF is probably the best option, it's the most
versatile (can make changes yourself, can easily have a public home
page, wiki for members, wiki for board, blog, internal records, etc.).
So I'd have to agree with Ray, not a deal breaker. :-)
