I'm sure it can be successful, but I doubt it will work for all wikias. The layout looks very confusing and uncategorized, and on many wikias I frequent, the forums serve much more purpose than what this project aims to fulfill. It will be a very rough transition for many communities; I would love if it was locked behind a Special:WikiFeatures toggle, even if it was enabled by default for new wikias.
