Currently we have very few global principles for the Wikimeian projects, namely the GFDL principle and maybe the NPOV principle. We have many recommendations listed on the Meta, which are not taken seriously in many projects. Wikimedia projects have grown tremendously, and in my opinion, it has become crucial that the list of principles governing all projects be a little more detailed. I suggest a few basic recommendations become obligatory
I may be hopelessly naive about this, but my general experience would seem to suggest that there's not really a need for this, because folks who are attracted to Wikimedia projects tend to share our (deep down) core values. If not, our various communities tend to push them in that direction fairly strongly.
Attempting to impose en.wikipedia's worldview on things like this is probably doomed to failure, in my opinion... it's almost the online version of pushing a colonialist agenda.
