I'm getting so many red flags.
Established by WMF via secret (non-transparent) process, with no community
involvement? Non-wiki environment, with the same scope as existing wikis?
WMF-decided conduct policies? Every single moderator is a WMF employee?
Forum using closed groups, with non-transparent communication?
(Closed-source software, unless I'm mistaken?) So far outside Wikimedia
spaces that the only place it was even _announced_ was an off-wiki mailing
list?
Is there something the Wikimedia Foundation would like to tell us?

Hi Maria,
Thanks for this update.
I hope that you can answer a question. I may be mistaken, but my impression
is that the purposes that are outlined for Wikimedia Space are within the
intended scopes of the Meta and Outreach wikis, as well as Wikimedia-l. I
think that the community would be willing to consider design improvements
and additional features for Meta and Outreach, such as calendar and map
tools that are easy to use. Design improvements and additional features
might also be welcome by third parties who use MediaWiki software and could
eventually have the option to implement the changes on their own sites. Can
you explain the decision to launch a new site instead of proposing design
improvements and additional features for Meta and Outreach?
Thank you,
Pine
