In my opinion it's enough with easy linking and citing facilities of papers that are yect in a good open access repository (institutional or subject-based). Let's focus in core-business of Wikipedia or Commons.

In the Wikipedia side, what it's useful is just a fine-tuned template for marking a reference as "open acces". In repositories`side, a widget to generate the code to "cite on Wikipedia", as Europeana an others are doing.

Hi guys.
I'd like to signal this thread to you:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58033

I think that having a good MediaViewer that handles PDFs could be a disrupting feature on Wikipedia.

We, for example, could upload Open Access articles, which are cited in bibliographies or references, directly on Commons, and have them viewed and read directly on Wikipedia. 

Not sure if this is feasible,but it's worth discussing.

Aubrey
