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.

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