Hi,
Yes the site currently exists, however this site was designed as a
prototype to see if the mediawiki software and the wiki-type
directory was appropriate. I have found that the software easily
meets the requirements of the proposal and hence would be a possible
future project. The demo site, email addresses and domains were
purchased when I first came up with the idea and now am putting this
forward for discussion as project proposal.
Cheers,
James.
As long as you are showing a willingness to transfer these domains to
the Wikimedia Foundation upon acceptance of this project, I don't see
anything wrong with doing a project proposal like this. It is a bit
different than other proposals, but every new project proposal seems
to go about its creation through slightly unique circumstances,
especially as the proposal matures.
The quality of the proposal and the merits of it becoming a Wikimedia
sister project should be irrelvant as to if it has an existing website
or not. I do think a project demonstration is a good idea, and I hope
that others looking at this proposal understand the nature of the
demonstration.
Hi,
The domains are of course transferrable if this project was to be
accepted. I believe the cost of domains is negligible these days and to
secure a worthwhile proposal one should secure the domains of choice
before they are hijacked.
Cheers,
James.
