From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

This sounds like a megaproject[edit]

This project seems larger and more complicated than the entirety of many existing wikiprojects because it is a communication platform for actual research. Am I interpreting this correctly? Can you provide a time estimate in work hours of how long it will take to get this project started, and what it will look like in its first iteration?

Wikiversity[edit]

Please explain how this differs from the existing Wikiversity project. Wnt (talk) 17:55, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Declining for now[edit]

BlueRaspberry makes a good point, I think - this project does have quite an ambitious scope. It seems too large for the Fellowship Program, at least right now.

There is a community process for proposing new Wikimedia projects (ie, a new sister project to compliment Wikipedia, Wikiversity, etc). The Fellowships Program feels that would be the best place to propose this type of project. If the community decides to create the new project and funding is needed to do so, there is always the Wikimedia grants program, or you would be welcome to resubmit an updated fellowship project idea if you feel it would make sense to do so at that point.
