Hi-
I have an idea for a wiki that I'd like to see developed by the
wikimedia
foundation. I know that this listserv is good for developing ideas, but I don't know who it reaches. I'd rather just talk to one
person
about this project. At this point it has excelled beyond a small, private wiki. I'm hoping for someone - hopefully someone at
the
wikimedia foundation - to contact me so I can share the necessary and relevant documents with them, and learn more about how
to
make
this happen.
Hi Jim,
New projects are usually proposed on meta. If you havent already, take a look at the current proposals as someone else might already have proposed a similar project:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_new_projects
-- John Vandenberg
That page is fine for looking at previous proposals, but that page is now obselete. New projects should be proposed in the form of a brand new page
on
meta.
Uh... is this true? Is there a list or category for new projects, then? I thought the old proposals list was still going. If people just randomly start a new project page, how are other people supposed to find it? Why was the old proposals list protected? The argument that "we didn't take any of these in the past, therefore we won't take anything in the future" seems a bit silly. Better to just archive that page to a subpage and start afresh?

Well the idea was you created the page and then advertised it on this list, Metapub, or wherever. But of course, I'm open to discussion. How about bringing it up on Meta?
