This has been brought up before, and I'm taking it into my own hands on pushing it forward. The idea is to start hosting Betawiki on a Wikimedia site. On a new project or merge it into an excisting one (Incubator?). I've put up a site for discussion. Please take a look at it and consider it. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meta:Betawiki_being_hosted_by_Wikimedia

Hoi, This is the best news I have heard in a long time. It is obviously disheartening that we have had to wait for some movement on this badly needed and long anticipated patch. Thanks, GeradM

What's to discuss; I've been waiting for the data dump from Nikerabbit for, what, about a year? :)

I think it is a good idea for the sustainability of the project.
I'm also with making it on a separate wiki because people's permissions on betawiki are different from the incubator..and also may be let the betawiki run all the extensions to test its translations?
I don't like that idea at all; there is no reason to decentralise the localisation efforts because of something as trivial as permission differences.
The idea of merging BetaWiki and Incubator is a great one, and should be done ASAP.

Hoi, There are permission differences. The question is what are these differences and if they are problematic, how can we solve them. Incubator is a place where people do things that are decidedly different from how you do things on a normal Wiki. It serves a completely different purpose. Like in BetaWiki it is a place where people have to show that they can be trusted to start a new project, a new language. Consequently there is no need to think in standard Wiki security.
There are good reasons why you want to allow the editors of an incubator project to start on the localisation. It gives instant gratification and, it is part of what they have to achieve to get a new language accepted. Thanks, GerardM

Having it hosted by Wikimedia also means that it would have SUL :-)
