I agree with Phoebe and Cormac, Wikiversity could be a good place to start. But, as Cormac
says, I'm thinking about a more complete solution, something like a "research
planet", or more seriously, a research virtual community.
Besides the useful tools for searching through bibliography, there could be repositories
with graphs, analyses, results, maybe even some databases with useful info for research
about Wikipedia, helping other people to avoid starting from zero.
We could also have a forge (including SVN repositories for code projects, associated
mailing lists, etc; the typical refinements) to develop research tools for Wikipedia, and
also to create development/user/researcher communities around those projects.
Along with these benefits, (and sorry for being repetitive) the most important advantage
in my view would be to have a central, clear and bidirectional communication point between
Wikimedia Foundation and other research communities all over the world.
Of course, I also agree with Alain in that we should sindicate/mashup/collaborate with
other wiki research spaces, starting with WikiSym. Perhaps, I'm proposing an augmented
WikiForum, much in the same line, but including other cool enhancements.
We at URJC are involved in a very similar experience, creating a complete info repository
for the European Open Source Observatory. IMHO, we should commit to a complete repository
for researchers on Wikipedia, for them to collaborate effectively. Potential sinergies are
simply too good to reject the opportunity.
Bests,
Felipe.
