Why not have a standalone "wikilabs" project for new potential wikimedia projects?
There are a lot of questions that would need to be addressed before this could be answered. How do you decide when a test wiki hosted at Wikilabs has failed and it is time to remove it? What about the risks of breaking links? How will different ideas be developed within the same wiki and how will this content be moved to the real site if the idea turns out to be successful. How many ideas will be accepted for the Wikilabs? Wikicities has had over 120 requests for new wikis in the last three months. Wikimedia is far better known, so this number will be much larger if Wikilabs were part of Wikimedia.
Anagela, could you post these good questions to: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikilabs or http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikilabs
