I was not aware that the genealogy wiki on wikicities existed. I have added a comment on their watercooler about Rodovid. I sincerly hope that there is no friction between the two projects.

After that, you should have a legitimate answer or some solid input from Wikimedia users in general over if the idea is a good one or not. Due to the nature of this project, widespread input is especially recommended. Mind you, all of the above steps are outlined in the official New Project Policy, as approved by the Wikimedia Foundation board. The examples I cite are from successful projects that at least have the attention of the board and very substantial community support.
So Wikiversity has received authority to proceed?
Still reports wiki as nonexistent.
Unless the geneology project wishes to be in limbo for a couple of years they might better advised to ignore the advertised Foundation "policies".
Has any wikimedia project ever been approved by the Board by following the advertised policies and procedures?
Do they (the geneology project) have competing projects initiated at wikicities.com?
Perhaps they could establish a reference book on geneology at wikibooks or an appropriate learning portal at wikiversity prototype and proceed while awaiting committee shuffling and participant selection process to gain legitimacy by grandfathering.
