Mediation changes
In the wake of criticism that the Mediation Committee was falling behind on their caseload, a wave of sweeping changes were made. Two new mediators, Redwolf24 and Flcelloguy, were admitted to the committee. In addition, there are currently five applicants wishing to join the committee. Redwolf24 also took over as temporary committee chair, replacing MacGyverMagic, who has temporarily become inactive due to scheduling problems. The requests for mediation page's backlog has now cleared, and new cases are being actively assigned and mediated.
Wikiversity vote continues
The Wikiversity project, which currently resides on Wikibooks, started a vote on September 15 to move to wikiversity.org, which currently hosts a near-dormant German Wikiversity project. The vote will last until November 1. Currently, the vote is about 76% in favor of the project (a two-thirds majority and board approval is required to start a project beta period)
