[Foundation-l] Wikimedia mouvement

Hardly.

Meta is mostly a work-environment. Transforming it to be a rather public 
site would damage its own current role.

WikimediaFoundation wiki would fit that role better. However, there is 
much more to the Wikimedia mouvement than just the Foundation.

Currently, we do have a private wiki playing that role. That's 
internalwiki. The new site would simply be the public version of internal.
