Atlassian sells a Confluence in the cloud at a per seat cost.
VisualEditor would make MediaWiki a decent competitor from the
perspective of the corporate types I've seen involved in such
purchasing decisions. I'm not sure how much traction it'd have but
there is something to say for MediaWiki being the wiki that everyone
is used to.

Hi everyone,
Agreed with Brion completely.
Such hosting would be an extremely useful thing, but it should have no
ads (at least as a payed option), be able to redirect to a custom
domain, and have all the things Brion mentioned. I would pay for it, I
think.

To: Wikimedia-tech list <wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Question for the group:
Would an officially supported general-purpose MediaWiki hosting service be
useful to people who would like to run wikis, but don't have the time,
expertise, or resources to maintain their own installation?
If so, what can we (as interested parties in MediaWiki development and use)
do to make this happen?
