User:Econterms/Wikiscience proposal draft

Project plan for science wiki

We seem to have enough information and contacts now. We've seen a good bit of frontier work in the realm of wiki/commentary and PubMed.

• drop nonmedical fields from the proposal -- they expand our focus too far

• Set up at referata. Find out from Yaron & company if this can be done, freely, cheaply, using the same extensions are as available at AADB and WikiPapers, and how.

• Contact Sadads again, and perhaps the author of WikiPapers

• Use/copy source information from acawiki.
• Use/copy source information from the Mietchen/Klein/Senate project on Wikisource [1]

• Note that policies prevent commentary on Wikisource, and allow even neutral annotations only with some effort: [2], [3]. However it would be quite plausible to copy PubMed papers which make it to wikisource to an annotated version of them at subpage /Annotated, then use that for something.
• Their project has a budget and funding; possibly worth imitating: [4]

• Contact James Heilman
• Ask User:Sadads about setting up on referata and helping copy all necessary code to new medical-wiki site
• Ask Yaron Koren about setting up on referata

• User:Groupuscule examined sources on the safety of eating genetically-modified organisms and some of these may qualify as medical: [5]

• Objective: to create a Wikimedia site with this sort of material. It's not clear we can get to there, but it seems possible.
