Yes. The idea came about from talking to people who mainly edit
content, oddly enough. Something which the people who play at running
Wikipedia do not do enough of, I am afraid.
I like
the idea that *every* article should be associated with one or more
projects. As always, we can't *make* anybody do anything, but project
people usually want to know about new articles in their areas, and right
now the discovery process is haphazard - always disconcerting to find a
duplicate article created several months earlier.
The haphazardness is the problem that I really think needs to be dealt
with more than anything else. It's always the article that we've
overlooked (e.g. [[John Siegenthaler]]) that rises up to bite us.
