Hi Amir, Sorry about not responding quickly to this. I think this is something we can consider if the deployment is going well, and the community is ready for a change. Also, we'd need you (or someone) to be an ambassador for this and willing to be on IRC with us (#wikimedia-tech). Is he.wikisource.org ready? Our choice of wikis was based on our confidence in the ability to communicate with the various communities if we were having problems, hence our heavy bias toward English-language sites (plus Dutch since we've got at least a couple people on the team that speak Dutch, and that gives us a moderately large wiki to deploy to).
