@ Pine: I am looking for someone to lead / coordinate this effort, thus me putting up the funding offer. Yes it may require a number of developers. I do not know where these people hang out or how to convince them to do the work. The coordinator be required to figure this out.
@Jane: No Corenbot just looked at new pages. This is a proposal to look at new edits as they come in. They key is looking at "NEW EDITS" as they come in. Not 10 minutes later. Not 2 days later. This will deal with the false positives you mention. You need to get them before other sites copy from Wikipedia. Also Turnitin is updated a little slower than google. We would use their database before the new content was added.
@Nemo: Turnitin has agreed to give us free access to their API keys. No money changing hands.
@Rupert: Please see reply to Nemo. With respect to access we would want 10 years worth anyway. One is able to access closed content through google books and scholar right now. Have you read the "memorandum of understanding" with Turnitin? There is no link spam allowed. Some companies are willing to do stuff that does not cost them anything because they like the idea. Not every for profit is evil to the core. If someone can build an effective system another way that is even more open than this the money is still theirs.
James and others, I would like to encourage you to participate in the discussion now happening on the Research mailing list. http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wiki-research-l/2014-July/date.html
