We can than "officially" launch in a month or so after most of the image issues have been dealt with.

@ Juergen Why can we not start in "beta"? Once things are live it will be much easier to bring on more people to address the image issue.

Thank you, Erik, for making this clear. I have recommended to the WV
community to take their time and transfer the images before migrating
the project. We just cannot start without most of the images in WV
articles. Period. I very much hope that these problems can be sorted
out and resolved soon.
