I'm appalled by the idea. The articles are part of Wikipedia; a project's work should be *invisible* except the results themselves.
As I said I don't care as strongly about placement of the WikiProject tags as the other metadata tags under consideration. I'd like to note that one of the things that initially pulled me into Wikipedia was the humble {{stub}} template. "... you can help Wikipedia by expanding it." I can? Really? Where do I sign up?!
:-)
The thing about templates like {{stub}}, {{NPOV}} and so on is that they are temporary by their nature - they indicate a problem that needs fixing. The problem is fixed and the tag goes away.
Project tags on an article would be permanent by nature. That's not so good IMO.
