I agree with the many people who have said that that thing is not Wikipedia. We're an encyclopedia, and have worked hard to generate the "brand image" that we're not just a group of random lunatics saying whatever we want about anything. Incorporating a "discuss the subject itself" area into Wikipedia itself would probably lead to confusion. I would suggest asking the foundation to start up a new project which is specifically devoted to talking about subject itself. Wikidiscuss or Wikitalk or something like that.
It's arguably related to what we do - c.f. the reference desk.
