- Look at the part that starts with "There is the reference desk" and ends with "best as a stand-alone project", perhaps? PiRSquared17 (talk) 14:14, 5 January 2014 (UTC) Reply
- I'm not sure I understand the argument. Basically, giving it its own domain would quintuple the page views, because that's just what happens to separate projects? - Ypnypn (talk) 14:36, 5 January 2014 (UTC) Reply
- Well, Wikivoyage is a fork of Wikitravel, but it gets 3000 views per day. --Jakob (talk) 15:53, 5 January 2014 (UTC) Reply
- Actually, Wikitravel gets far more visitors than Wikivoyage. - Ypnypn (talk) 17:45, 5 January 2014 (UTC) Reply

Apart from the project's concept per se, I object the idea of using regular wiki pages: I think it would be wiser to use Flow boards, when that extension is ready to use.
Also, using language subdomains would split up the work: I'd rather suggest to keep discussions central, with Flow Boards automatically tagged by language. --Ricordi samoa 03:23, 6 January 2014 (UTC) Reply
