--- Comment #2 from Erik Moeller <e...@wikimedia.org> ---
I have some concern about the maintenance burden for this. We have no capacity
to maintain custom extensions for this; we're generally trying to make sure all
our sites will work well on HTTPS & mobile, which would be extra effort; we'd
have to incorporate this wiki into our deployment train, etc. 

Beyond this, this could create the impression that OpenZIM is a WMF project,
which it is not. All our existing wikis are either under the governance of the
communities, or in the case of some chapter wikis, of a recognized Wikimedia
chapter. Here we'd be delegating governance to an external project community.

A smaller issue is that the wiki is under GFDL 1.2, which is a content license
we no longer support as a primary license.

Overall my recommendation would be to continue to host this externally (if
necessary by paying a third party MW hoster) to avoid those complications.
