Elisabeth Bauer:
So far, we have one rather successful encylopedia, a media repository which could use better organization,
Kennisnet may be interested in helping with that, I am in talks with the relevant people.
a dictionary which is in desperate need of software modifications,
I'm working on that.
a quote collection with unsolved legal problems,
Headache. Personally, I never wanted Wikiquote to be a Wikimedia project.
a biology wiki which is boycotted by all wikipedian biologists I know,
:-) Gerard and I have talked a bit about this; once we have a Wikidata prototype out in the wild, perhaps we'll be able to find funding to create a Wikidata schema for Wikispecies.
a news site whose participants are in the process of learning journalism (with very varying success if I look at the latest headlines of german wikinews)
I won't pat myself on the back too much, but I think we're doing well in terms of monitoring the progress of the international editions and highlighting successes and weaknesses.
a dead memorial wiki for sep 11
Yes. Please convert into static HTML ASAP. If nobody else feels up to the task, I'm willing to help.
a wiki for developing teaching resources where I'm always disappointed when I look into
Yes, Wikibooks is another project which is suffering from the software not addressing all of its needs, particularly the modularization of individual books.
a source repository which duplicates the efforts of project gutenberg.
A bit harsh; the coming language subdomain split is a good short term solution to encourage more translations (I don't think it's the best approach, but that's another story), which is probably the great potential of Wikisource.
Isn't this enough to work on?
Yes, for the time being. Our existing projects should stabilize before Wikisophia is launched. That doesn't mean we shouldn't think about it or work on grant applications and cooperations which will benefit all our projects.
