r
wiki=94 was that I figured that after the anniversary was over there would =
be
no need to leave it up indefinitely, requiring upkeep from the community an=
d
staff.

There are lots ideas that have been mentioned casually. For example: at the
last community IRC meeting there was a suggestion for it to be merged with
Meta.[1] In general I=92m agnostic on the matter, though I do a have a coup=
le
general goals...

With that frame of mind, I=92ve opened a discussion at the tenwiki Village
Pump with some of the various options I=92ve heard or thought of.[2] Please
add your ideas there, especially if you=92ve been a part of the crew of
editors who=92ve worked to maintain the site over the past several months.

If you haven=92t heard me say it before: thank you for helping the site gro=
w
so quickly in those past months while staying free of vandalism/spam. The
whole idea would have been a disaster if it wasn't for your hard work.[3]

(On a related note: Jay Walsh and I have been working on some reports to
wrap up the Foundation's major work on the 10th anniversary, one of which i=
s
the start of a page about running any global, distributed event in the
Wikimedia movement. Jay is currently consumed by another deadline, but we'r=
e
hoping to publish that work soon.)

Thanks!
