The problem with failing projects like Wikinews and Wikiversity is that there is not a critical mass in their community. I wouldn't go so far as to say there is no community, but for all practical purposes that might as well be true. In such cases there isn't a realistic prospect of community involvement and the WMF needs to decide how to manage that situation on on of their projects. A small investment to set up a user group to own the new project under a new brand, move the content off the WMF servers, removing the Wikim/pedia branding on the way, and maybe pay a few years hosting charges as a sign of goodwill seems the right way to go.
