Frank, We currently use SourceForge services for things like our bug tracker. I was speaking about a mediawiki instance. SourceForge offers those services as well, but I think the user interface is not as friendly as the OSGeo wiki.
Thank you for outlining the steps necessary to obtain a wiki for OpenJUMP hosted by the OSGeo. I will take this information back to the community so that we can make a decision.

Landon, What sort of wiki were you looking for? A mediawiki instance? A Trac wiki? We host trac instances for a number of projects not formally associated with OSGeo, and I imagine we could do so for OpenJUMP if that would meet your needs. But of course Trac is most interesting when you also use it for your bug system and have it hooked to a subversion instance. We do run one mediawiki instance for wiki.osgeo.org, and could presumably host another beside it, but there are relatively few folks knowledgable about that. Providing services for non-OSGeo projects is a two step process. One is finding someone with the appopriate level of access willing to do the system administration tasks to support it. The second is passing a motion on the SAC (System Administration Committee) list in support of the action (followed by a brief board review period).
