I had thought Wikipeople was supposed to take over what is currently the September 11 memorial wiki. I've posted about this to Foundation-l earlier today since Wikipeople would be a new project rather than part of Wikipedia. See http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2004-September/001098.html
There are a number of questions at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikipeople which need to be addressed before Wikipeople can start.
