This is great news, and I can see it as a definite door-opening for Wikia and its communities. I can't wait to see how this works out!

The title did give me an idea though (whilst this is a little off-topic) - the ability to create Wiki communities for people to join. Admins can create a community with a certain theme, and the founder of the community can edit settings for it, like logos and such. Admins of other wikis can have the option to join that community as well, under the leadership of the community founder. It could be sort of like a "let's make a community-category for Science-themed wikis. Now that we've made it and customized its community page and settings, we can invite other wikis to join our community, and we can all collaborate with this hub of likewise people all under our Science category." Each community page would be managed sort of like a Wiki, but wouldn't serve the purpose of creating articles, but maybe include a chat function across the entire community so people can have a hub to chat instead of having to all move to one wiki's on-site chat, and have displays of wikis that have joined the community, and so on.

Just an idea.
