resources have been substantially expanded; 2) we formalize a process for starting such projects, e.g. a planning period of at least 3 months on Meta with exact specifications as to what is to be placed there. After this period, users on the Meta wiki should vote on whether the new wiki should be set up or not. 3 months may seem long, but if interest can't be kept up that long, the idea may not be so great after all.
Seconded.
Otherwise I see the danger that we'll end up with lots of nice ideas that all go nowhere, like the sep11.wikipedia.org (which IMHO should never have been set up in the first place).
basically... Sep11,wikipedia.org was created to appease people protesting against the deletion of acticles on victims of the Sep11 attacks who were pure nobodies and didn't belong in Wikipedia.
