>The software Benjamin has written himself looks quite solid and reasonably feature complete to me. I

>this is a Wikimedia project, Benjamin will have to do most of the development and promotion himself.
>Hosting costs should be small during startup, easily covered by donations. If he can avoid
>Wikimedia's bureaucracy and run the project himself, why not do so?
