I have no issues with technical changes which make doing the work easier. I
just wonder what "Members of langcom or other volunteers can set the logo
or other pieces afterwards" means. How quickly will the settings be added,
and by whom? It would be annoying to have a created wiki, but people have
to start using it without the desired settings in place. I think it would
be especially problematic when special namespaces are requested, like they
routinely are for Wikisource? They need to exist before work can be done.
