Why wouldn't they propose?  Wikia wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for
the success of Wikipedia [sic].  A donation of some office space is
the least they could do.

Well, there still a lot of person-overlap, between the board, the
advisory board, employees, arb com, etc.  And there's still the whole
interwiki linking mess.  And now, they're gonna be in the same
metropolitan area (which surely will help with the whole
people-overlap part).

At least this "relationship" would be to the benefit of the WMF.
