My plan is to do what Kubuntu is already doing. We'd have our wiki.xubuntu.*and help.xubuntu.* subdomains that would have their own install of the applicable software utilizing our own Xubuntu theme while using the same database as Kubuntu and Ubuntu allowing us to prevent duplication. I think that /might/ encourage people to contribute but considering there is nothing stopping people from contributing now to the current wiki install via the ubuntu domain, I wonder how much effect it'll have. You never know, maybe it'll do the trick :)
For the record, I've already filed the requests with the powers that be but now that there seems to be a visible interest in this I'll get on top of it along with the new Xubuntu website.
