Gerard, I agree that a forked wiki could have collaborations with WMF. But
having separate hosting and legal ownership would create new headaches and
risks. I hope WMF takes a
Hoi,
Such separate hostings and ownership would not be that much of a risk to
the WMF. The challenges will be first and foremost with the separatists;

Hey List,
just to play around, here some thoughts on the validity of a fork from
the german-speaking content-sites. To clarify - I don't want that and
would not advise anyone to go that way but it's importat to know:

Hey List,
final part of three - I think after all this gloom I do have to

Hey List,

Dear all,
The next WMF metrics and activities meeting will take place on Thursday,
