ok then, how about wikilabs AT wikicites, just so that we can keep all the wikimedia trails/betas/alphas together in one place, so they can easily feed off each others (and our) user base. And also, if there was some other wiki (that we hadnt started, but which wanted to join the foundation), then it could be moved to wikilabs (at wikicities) first, and then (if there is consensus) it could join us.

Put is this way: the problem with starting, say, [[Wikibuilder]] off as a Wikibook is one, for technical reasons, but two, because there is no natural base of editors who are builders and architects, etc (compared to programmers and scientists, etc.). To have [[Wikibuilder]] being developed in its early stages under "Wikilabs" would allow for 'instant recognition of potential,' whereas under Wikibooks the potential isn't so obvious (especially to designers and builders who just happen across the site). A "Wikilabs" [[Wikibuilder]] project is a very easy concept to grasp and would be something a lot of people would be willing to get their teeth into. A [[Wikibuilder]] under Wikibooks is a nice idea... hope it does well, kinda thing.
Wikilabs isn't needed at all due to the existence of Wikicities. After being hosted at Wikicities for some time we can then see if Wikibuilder is 1) a viable idea and 2) if it is something that will fit with our mandate.
