A related question - I see there was a request to set up a new domain, " strategy.wikimedia.org"
What would this new site be for? New single-purpose wikis can flounder after distracting people with setting up basic infrastructure (userpages, handy community gathering points) and tend to segment the community in a way that discourages broad participation. Meta has been used for strategic planning since the beginning, and has attracted a pool of editors sympathetic to this sort of vision creation and consensus building.
