Been kicking this around on IRC all day. General view is that it would have to be handled very carefully both in terms of community relations and PR wise.
Hence floating it here. At present wikipedia.com is all but deprecated.
Could someone please forward this to the strongest objectors from last time?
Ideally it would be nice to see more than a stable version (no shortage of wikipedia mirrors out there already).
*The* stable version, the checked and lovely product. No change whatsoever in wiki-anything.org.
I don't know exactly how many hits wikipedia.com gets but I doubt it could pay our hosting and staff costs on it's own.
We get one hell of a lot more readers than we do editors. If the known not-bad version is on .com, that'll encourage linking to it.
