Two questions here...
Firstly, is there any wiki here that was interested in Monaco? I know it had faults, and it was a Wikia skin, but there were some good ideas in it (iconified tabs do make it easier to use, hover menu navigation, etc...). So, were there any wiki's here or anyone who missed Monaco when the wiki went independent?
Why? I was 1/3 the way through porting Wikia's Monaco skin to be a generic skin installable on any MediaWiki installation, was wondering if anyone actually wanted me to complete it so it could be used.
And lastly, if someone offered MediaWiki hosting, do you think there are any wiki in the network that would want to take them up on it?
By hosting, I mean actual hosting, not Wikia style WikiFarming, hosting as in the kind of hosting relationship any NIWA wiki already has with the company who hosts their webspace... except instead of offering Shared, Dedicated, VPS, or Cloud hosting, it being dedicated MediaWiki hosting, with someone who knows the software managing it on a level including the features that let MediaWiki run on a network of servers that can handle a high load of readers.
