Yep. While Wikinotes is a neat name the goal of that proposed project is already covered by the Wikibooks/Wikiversity mandate (which is pretty much all non-fiction useable in the classroom except, of course, encyclopedias, dictionaries and source texts - although we do plan to annotate source text to act as study guide material).
Please start any "Cliff-Notes" type booklet on Wikibooks.
