New Wikimedia Foundation projects?

I recently read the Wikimania Haifa synopsis and I think the ideas proposed by one of the attendees to the WMF board to create new projects is a good idea. Why isn't there something like a genealogy wiki that people can use. Genealogy should be open source but its controlled by various greedy companies like ancestory.com. Heck, the new project could even be called along the lines of something like WikiFamily.

i would maybe propose as a new project a real open internet websites directoy or also enterprise directory

i think this kind of active and really open directory is very lacking ....

There are a lot of new projects that could be created. However, many of the ideas have already been taken up by non-WMF open source sites (IMSLP and WikiTravel come to mind). Geanealogy is the one thing that doesn't appear to have an open source representative on the Internet. I'd be interested for strategy users to have a "brainstorming" session sometime to discuss the feasibility of new projects, or perhaps it could be discussed at the next Office Hours ... ?
