There doesn't seem to be any need to ask anyone:  I just created an account,
created a Q page at http://programming.wikia.com/wiki/Q , and added
it to the main page.  (I grabbed the text from your About Q page.)
Feel free to elaborate.

A current-version-only dump is available at:

http://www.wikia.com/dbdumps/programming/pages_current.xml

and an all-versions dump suitable for importing into another
copy of Wikimedia at:

http://www.wikia.com/dbdumps/programming/pages_full.xml

The backup copies are kept on two different machines.  See
http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Database_download for details.

Looks good.  When you settle on a site, we can all go nuts updating it.
