I do not think finding hardware to host a project this size would be 
very problematic in the short run, but who would take care of it ? And 
mostly, if you think the current team is unresponsive to current 
wikinews software needs, who do you think will take care of modifying 
the MediaWiki software outside of the current team ? Is it perceived it 
would be more efficient to have a software fork or even to use another 
software ?

Incidently, though I often heard of some software features for the 
wiktionary and species project, which features are necessary to wikinews 
and where has this been discussed ?
