How many do you want ? And for what purpose ? I can think of one
database for the wiki.

For all other experimentation, I'd rather experiment on my own
personal computers.

My rationale for mentioning:
- the server already has this
- the existing mediawiki dump is in a mediawiki importable format
- we can start to use mediawiki right away thanks to the dump. If at
all we need something else, we can consider that, and then come up
with the steps involved in moving to that. (volunteers + test results
needed, of course, preferably from those would like the change).

Also, we can propose various technologies, but one needs to maintain
all this over a period of time. I speak from experience since I
administer some 50+ sites created with the choice technology of the
day, who have moved on and left me taking care of their labour of
love.

Which is where the focus should be, indeed. Thankfully, some of us are
now motivated enough to ensure that destructive criticism and the
disrespect of women does not take place at least on this list.
