Hi,
also a comment from me. After exodus of Wikiversity participants from the WMF movement I lost the interest. There seem to be also a very small support from WMF (as I seen some presentations on Wikimania).
There were founded also some forks, where people are not frighten from the founder and were the technical development goes faster being not burdened by bureaucracy and technical strategy, which is still implementing Wikipedia tools to other non-Wikipedia projects.
And of course another reason is time. Now I work on Czech Wikiversity and this month came back to English Wikiversity were I found a mess, a big mess. There are hundreds of students and teachers from universities and other schools from hole around the world, but seems to me that a very little number of people patrolling RC.
Regards, Juan

Hi All,
After sitting on the sidelines for a couple months, it's time to take this off the backburner.
I'm quite disappointed that there seem to be no local to me orgs that want to help out with this.
They were either out of our budget or weren't willing to host such a small endeavour, despite it being a good cause.
So, off with their heads, onwards and upwards. We'll have plenty of choice without a "local to me" restriction, which I wanted just in case something goes wrong with the servers -- I can actually physically kick the box.
Ok, so, we're looking for a host with good internet connectivity. I'm not sure if our initial projects will require VMs, but being able to do VMs easily would be nice.
We'll also need some kind of a backup system.
If anyone has suggestions or referrals, please let me know.
I'm hoping to have this up and accepting projects in 2 weeks. Let's see what we can do.
Thanks, Gerald.
