Thread:Talk:Technical communications/Dev wiki consolidation/Where to draw the line/reply (12)

I'm not sure I like the merging Idea.

Basically, I would like MediaWiki as a project to be able to stand on its own 2 feet, and hence be independent of what Wikimedia or anyone else is doing with it. If MediaWiki became simply a subproject of Wikimedia's various technical initiatives, I think that would be sad. (OTOH perhaps that has already happened...). I worry that merging the wikis would be a step in that direction.

Note, I do believe that Wikimedia team reports should be on whatever wiki primary dev documentation for MediaWiki is, since they are team reports about people hacking MediaWiki. On a similar note, if somebody (ShoutWiki, Wikia, etc) put together a team to add some major feature to mediawiki, I think it would be entirely appropriate to have their team reports on the mediawiki dev wiki too.
