After discussing the creation of Wikipeople on IRC this evening, I am no longer convinced that there is a consensus about what the proposed project is supposed to be.
Personally, I had thought it was supposed to take over what is currently the September 11 memorial wiki, but perhaps I was mistaken about that being its aim due to the fact the discussion of Wikipeople started out at the Wikimorial page on Meta.
I think a lot of questions need answering before the project can be created. For example: 1 Should this project exist? 2 Should the current Sep11 wiki articles be moved here? 3 Should the Sep11 wiki be removed and redirected to Wikipeople? 4 Should the creation of this project wait until a Wikidata structure exists? 5 Should Wikidata be a project that can hold both Wikipeople and Wikispecies? 6 Should this be a project in its own right with no links to Sep11 wiki or Wikispecies? 7 Which domain should be used?
If anyone has opinions on the above points, please make them at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikipeople so that an informed decision can be made about whether to create this project and what its aim is supposed to be.
Thanks.
Angela.
