Not yet. The Board suggested the proposal be revised, and this is now
in the hands of the Special projects committee.

Wikinews.

I don't see the one at Wikicities as a competing site. A geneology
wiki needs specialised software, which wikitree.org has made a start
on. The wikicity is using the standard MediaWiki software, and was
originally meant to be about sufi chains, not a general geneology
site.
