We have no need of a wiki yet, but when we do is asking the techs all that's required? We don't need the approval of the board or anything?
Which board?
WMF, since they control the servers. Cary says we just need to file a bug report, though, which we can easily do.
It's pretty trivial to get Mediawiki installed; if we decide that we want one, Wikimedia don't want to install / host one, then I would be willing to set one up and host it.
Yeah, I've run Mediawiki installations for testing purposes, it's easy enough. I don't see any reason why WMF would reject our request, though.
