You can always make Wikinfo a sister project.

That would be a rather elegant solution, wouldn't it. At a minimum, recognizing Wikinfo as "Part of the Wikimedia Movement" and incorporating links to it into our controversial articles. And then a next nice step would be if Wikinfo could seamlesly use WMF-hosted project's useraccounts, images, templates, and interwikilinks.
Or perhaps it would just make more sense technologically to just host it with WMF, with the understanding that WMF doesn't "endorse" Wikinfo in the same way that it might kinda 'endorse' Wikipedia but recognizes it for what it is-- yet another useful way for people to collaboratively produce educational content. -- I have actually been independently trying to think of other wikis that should be "sister projects". Some are really obvious and non-controversial-- SNPedia, for example, an encyclopedia of single nucleotide polymorphisms and related studies-- 'should' be a WMF-related project, unless either party doesn't want such an association for reasons I can't fathom.
We're at the point where the lack of diversity of our English language project 'styles' may be a major factor dissuading new users from participation. It may be time to begin exploring new content types, new policy sets, new cultures, and new tech. -- I would _love_ to see Wikinfo get closer ties to WMF, including direct hosting if all groups like it. Back when we could only afford to have one project, I understand why Wikipedia was that project. Times have changed, and the more ways we let people edit, the more people will feel comfortable editing.
