[Foundation-l] New project proposal - Wikibuilder

[Robin Shannon]

ok then, how about wikilabs AT wikicites, just so that we can keep all
the wikimedia trails/betas/alphas together in one place, so they can
easily feed off each others (and our) user base. And also, if there
was some other wiki (that we hadnt started, but which wanted to join
the foundation), then it could be moved to wikilabs (at wikicities)
first, and then (if there is consensus) it could join us.

paz y amor,
