Yes, I was thinking of the Wikimedia Foundation's projects. Would
Wise-Nano or Nanopedia (the hoped-for end product) be a good addition to
that group of projects?
If my site uses a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike license, does
that fulfill the Gnu license, or do I have to include Gnu boilerplate on
any text I copy from a Gnu'd site?

It will hopefully grow into a big collaborative informational project,
but with a specific purpose: to analyze the implications and risks of
advanced nanotechnology, and make wise policy.
Should I join the MediaWiki project family, or is this too
special-purpose?
I'm not aware of any particular 'MediaWiki project family'. You may be
thinking of the Wikimedia Foundation, the umbrella organization running
Wikipedia, Wiktionary, etc. MediaWiki is just the wiki software, nothing
more.
Are there any conventions or expectations for
narrow clone projects
using MediaWiki's look and feel, linking to their help pages, etc?
You are of course welcome to link. If you copy help pages from
meta.wikipedia.org or another Wikipedia project, be sure to respect the
license of those pages (GNU Free Documentation License).
