Hi Quim,

Is this a legitimate WMF website? It is a pre-launch site going through a community review and maintained by the Movement Strategy and Governance team at the Wikimedia Foundation.
It seems to have been launched, at least by your email?

    Trying to trace where this website is
    being hosted doesn't go very far - the domain seems have its DNS at
    gandi.net <http://gandi.net>, with the registration via pir.org
    <http://pir.org>, and its contact info is at
    afilias.info <http://afilias.info>? Compare to wikimedia.org
    <http://wikimedia.org> that at least says "Registrant
Organization: Wikimedia Foundation, Inc.". Yes, this is being discussed at one of the questions of the community review:
What do you think about the proposed name and domain?
https://forum.movement-strategy.org/t/what-do-you-think-about-the-proposed-name-and-domain/53 <https://forum.movement-strategy.org/t/what-do-you-think-about-the-proposed-name-and-domain/53>
This is not a community review - this is an off-wiki discussion.

    There is no on-site privacy policy, it just links to
wikimediafoundation.org <http://wikimediafoundation.org>?

See this pinned topic:

User privacy considerations in this forum
https://forum.movement-strategy.org/t/user-privacy-considerations-in-this-forum/55 <https://forum.movement-strategy.org/t/user-privacy-considerations-in-this-forum/55>

So this does not follow the WMF's privacy policy at:
https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Privacy_policy


    It's also very much not a mediawiki installation?


It's a Discourse instance. https://discourse.org <https://discourse.org> is an open-source platform specializing in community conversations.
That's $100/month for a standard subscription. per https://www.discourse.org/pricing.

Please, just use a wiki.

Thanks,
Mike
