Hi Tisza,

So currently, the journals mainly run within Wikiversity (with a proposal to start a new sister project). It would only be the test wiki that would be sensible to run through wikispore to develop new features currently impossible in wikiversity (see technical wishlist). As far as I know, the current test wiki doesn't have any backups, or monitoring. The domain name isn't really important for the test wiki, since it's just a feature development and testing. The factors that would probably be most useful would be a support community for developing new features, and support and advice on then implementing them on a WMF wiki. Most of the participants in the WikiJournals do not have technical mediawiki knowledge, and are more focused on content creation, so having help on that side of things would be a huge benefit.

For example, the test badges require Common.js to load external javascript codes. Is there a way to implement these in a way that would satisfy WMF data privacy requirements? .

Sorry, sent this too quickly. Wikispore uses Cloud Services which means ugly domain names (I'm not sure whether that can be worked around and how hard it would be) and a less stable hosting environment compared to most professional hosts, OTOH easy to collaborate and get support. We use MediaWiki-Vagrant for bringing up the wikis, which is really a development tool, and as such fragile and not really secure, but can build complex setups (visual editing, cross-wiki notifications etc) with very little effort.
