Hi all,
A few of my friends and I have been planning to document the history of counterculture in Bengali art and literature. These friends are also working in that domain professionally, and have access to a huge repository of texts, images, and other relevant details that they are willing to make available digitally in the form of free contents. We wish to have the contents as wikis, and, pictures and video snippets that might be involved - as properly licensed free materials. Now, the concern is if there is some Wikimedia Project that would host contents that are based on such an enormous amount of original research. Wikipedia is certainly not the appropriate place. And, as there exist no earlier works on this particular domain on the internet, references would be negligible. I was thinking about Wikibooks, instead. I am not entirely sure if that fits either, but I assume it fits better than Wikipedia, at least. The last option is to host it ourselves with the MediaWiki setup, and I am considering it very much. But, the idea essentially is to make people edit and enrich it with as much inputs as possible. It would be really helpful, in that case, if it could be placed in one of the Wikimedia projects. Suggestions, of every kind, would be deeply appreciated.
Best, Sucheta
This sounds like a Wikisource idea - do we have any wikisourcerers who can give their thoughts?

Wikisource should only be used for material that has already been published elsewhere, it sounds like what's being attempted here is original publishing.
One option may be simply to set up your own MediaWiki installation and host such material there. You can therefore set your own licencing rules for the content, and make your own rules about what is and is not allowed.

The Wikisource dogma is: "If things are published and free, they belong to Wikisource".
Unfortunately, there is no Wikimedia project for original research, Sucheta. As an example, some years ago I wanted to host my bachelor thesis (about Wikisource) in a fixed form on Wikisource (and I could do it), but also on a dynamic and collaborative form on Wikibooks. But Wikibooks is for manuals and textbooks, so it's not the right place.
IMHO, this issue will get bigger and bigger over the years, and there could be room for another Wikimedia project that would allow open access, collaborative peer review and editing of original research. It could be a sort of new environment between academic publishing and Wikipedia (which now are quite distant for several reasons).

Whereas there might be some materials which are best hosted at this (not yet in existence) Wikiproject, I am afraid it has a lot of potential to attract conspiracy theorists and all king of adepts of marginal views, so that I am not sure such project should be created (or at least not under the umbrella of WMF).

Freely licensed reproductions of relevant primary sources are definitely welcome on Wikimedia Commons.

The original research part *might* be allowed on some Wikibooks subdomains, you have to ask the community in the relevant language.
For your own wiki, it's probably best to enter an open farm. There are several. https://wikiapiary.com/wiki/Farm:Farms

Hello Sucheta,
for me this looks like a good restart for Wikiversity. For me beside of providing university courses one of the target of Wikiversity is also always to be actually do crowd sourced research works.
