Hi Tisza,
So currently, the journals mainly run within Wikiversity
<https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_User_Group> (with a proposal
to start <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiJournal> a new sister
project). It would only be the test wiki <http://wikipediajournal.com/> that
would be sensible to run through wikispore to develop new features
currently impossible in wikiversity (see technical wishlist
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiJournal/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.
We actually probably can do the domain name, and hope to have backups in
the near future. The Wikispore community would definitely be happy to team
up with the WikiJournal community and pool our technical knowledge, such as
it is.
For example, the test badges <https://wikipediajournal.com/Test_badges>
require Common.js
<https://wikipediajournal.com/MediaWiki:Common.js> to
load external javascript codes. Is there a way to implement these in a way
that would satisfy WMF data privacy requirements? .
I'm unsure on this question, anyone have ideas?
Thanks,
Richard

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.
