I have been long interested in starting my own MediaWiki project, but the issue is that I cannot maintain server infrastructure myself. Also, most of the MediaWiki hosting services listed do not meet my requirements.
What are your requirements?
Therefore, I was wondering if the WMF would consider starting a new project that I could be founder of. I'm open to a variety of topics, please let me know what you would prefer.
Have you investigated using Wikimedia Labs? This page has more information: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Portal:Wikimedia_Labs.
The Wikimedia Foundation already hosts over 800 wikis. Maybe you can explain why you feel you need your own wiki instead of using an existing one or setting up your own test wiki on Labs or using a service like Wikia?
