I propose that we merge the GoAnimate wikis (and select affiliates) and move to a new site (abandon Wikia). This can be accomplished using free MediaWiki software, which is what Wikia is based off of.

To do this, here's what needs happen: Pre-merge. Clear each wiki of unwanted pages. 1. Merge the wikis into one (Preferably Goanipedia since it is very large and also I would be overseeing the project) 2. Get a domain and set up its FTP and DNS (I'll get this done) 3. Get MediaWiki set up (I'll get this done 4. Transfer the merged wiki on Wikia into the new site (same process as merging)  5. Clean the site. Making sure all the contributions are there, page hostories, templates, etc. (This is the most time consuming)  6. Vote to either close or keep the old wikis as archives/backups

This would be time consuming, but we could do it by the end of July if we get started soon.

What are your thoughts? Please share them with me. In the meantime, Goanipedia and WEW will continue to operate normally.

Thank you, rjbear178 CEO, Goanipedia-WEW
