Hello,
I have been long interested in starting my own MediaWiki project, but the issue is that I cannot maintain server infrastructure myself. Also, most of the MediaWiki hosting services listed do not meet my requirements. Therefore, I was wondering if the WMF would consider starting a new project that I could be founder of. I'm open to a variety of topics, please let me know what you would prefer.
Thank you for your time, Jamie

What are your requirements?

Have you investigated using Wikimedia Labs? This page has more information: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Portal:Wikimedia_Labs.
The Wikimedia Foundation already hosts over 800 wikis. Maybe you can explain why you feel you need your own wiki instead of using an existing one or setting up your own test wiki on Labs or using a service like Wikia?

Imposter? Are you freaking serious? How was I (a new WMF user) supposed to know that there was another OhNoitsJamie somewhere in the 800 wikis mentioned? Sorry about that, if I am indeed using a name that is used elsewhere.
