*A wiki for book metadata, with an entry for every published work, statistics about its use and siblings, and discussion about its usefulness as a citation (a collaboration with OpenLibrary, merging WikiCite ideas)
I could see this happening on Wikisource.
Why could you not see this happening within the existing OpenLibrary? Is there anything wrong with that project? It sounds to me as you would just copy (fork) all their book data, but for what gain?
(Plus you would have to motivate why a copy of OpenLibrary should go into the English Wikisource and not the German or French one.)
