Hi everyone,
I just got this email from Wikimedia UK. Are more chapters considering
this? I see some pro's and con's on
https://wiki.wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/IT_Development/This_wiki , but it
doesn't list the most important con: Waste of movement effort and money
on for example debugging a mangled database (see
https://wiki.wikimedia.org.uk/w/index.php?title=GLAM-WIKI_2013%2FAttendees&diff=23460&oldid=23443
and than click contribs).
Actually, testing our import tools looks like a pro to me! I hope to see
many bugs filed and docs added. :)

On a more serious note, it's hard to tell from the outside whether it's
worth hosting their own wiki. WMIT, for instance, can't do without
because we need a single wiki for members and private board stuff for
transparency and collaboration reasons (compare the 20+ private wikis
WMF uses); even having it on the generous WMFR servers was quite a
bureaucratic pain many years ago.
