I agree that the edit restrictions on the WMF wiki are very
unfortunate and there's still much more that can be done (perhaps one
day leading toward
www.wikimedia.org as a single information,
collaboration and discussion hub, subsuming both WMF and Meta, and
possibly other backstage wikis).

Perhaps have Meta: Strategy:, Outreach: Usability:, Tech:, and Wikimania*:
namespaces to replace the separated sites in existence today. The main
space could cover
wikimediafoundation.org content. Wikimedia: for meta-wiki
discussion. Or any variation on that. At the least, there is no need to
keep creating new wikis for Wikimania if you properly tag content for the
year it applies to.
