Hey -- I won't weigh in on the discussion, as I mostly lurk here. But I do have an unlimited hosting package with my host provider (which is somewhat of a misleading term, bandwidth isn't unlimited, but I have gigs and gigs of space and bandwidth so no worries) and I have hosted/run MediaWiki and other wiki software on my site before (mostly for RPGs I've run). If someone can help me with technical details like redirects, I'll gladly install a new subdirectory on my domain, install MediaWiki and assign admin status to the suggested individual. Note I'll only do this if the consensus is 'move' -- I don't want to divide or polarize a group, I hate that kind of nonsense -- but I have the resources if people are willing to put in the effort.
