I think it is absolutely right to start adding new wikis to accomodate
and enrich and empower subcommunities.

Totally.  We can launch new communities from the central campaign wikia
as needed and desired.  Probably we should have a process similar to
that at wikipedia for "new langauges" or "new projects", i.e. if we have
a subgroup within our broad politically-interested groups, and they have
 say 20 people signed up as willing to work on a sufficiently separate
topic, we launch a new wikia to make it easier for that subgroup to work
off to the side together, and they of course would want to bring some of
the work back into the nonpartisan global space, etc.
