Hi, Rupert- I think the movement as a whole should try to move consistently to 4.0 at roughly the same time. It is confusing to re-users to have to juggle different terms for different pieces of Wikimedia content.[1] So Foundation content will generally remain 3.0 until we make 4.0 the default license across the projects. (I'm aware that some projects have taken this jump on the own, but where I've seen this, I've made similar points - for example <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Declaration_of_consent_for_all_enquiries&diff=prev&oldid=622093759> .)
WMF Legal plans to launch a movement-wide 4.0 discussion when CC has issued a solid number of translations, ideally in our largest languages. I understand the first few translations will be published in the next few weeks, and there is a schedule of upcoming translations on CC's wiki <https://wiki.creativecommons.org/Legal_Tools_Translation#4.0>[2]. Realistically, given the holidays, and the lag for large projects, this likely means that discussion will happen early in 2015. Hope that helps- Luis [1] I'm well aware we already have a huge problem with this, but I don't want it to get worse. :) [2] These are updated by the translation teams, not CC itself, so they may not be up-to-date/accurate.
