The basic idea is a centralized wiki that contains
citation information that
other MediaWikis and WMF projects can then reference using something like a
{{cite}} template or a simple link. The community can document the citation,
the author, the book etc.. and, in one idealization, all citations across
all wikis would point to the same article on WikiCite. Users can use this
wiki as their personal bibliography as well, as collections of citations can
be exported in arbitrary citation formats.
I have already mentioned it before, but this description looks quite
similar to
http://bibdex.org/ . Maybe we should join forces (i.e., send
your proposal also to Sunir Shah).
