Hi guys! I'm glad my little post helped re-start such a productive conversation.
Since some people are replying only to the research-l list and some to both research-l and foundation-l (my fault for cc'ing both) maybe we should centralize this discussion (at least of the nitty gritty metadata issues) on the research list for now? thread here: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wiki-research-l/2010-July/thread.html
Of course the perennial issue of how to propose a new WMF project is very much a foundation-l topic.
regards, phoebe

Hi Brian and others,
I also think that it would be interesting with some bibliographic support, for two-way citation tracking and commenting on articles (for example), but I furthermore find that particular in science article we often find data that is worth structuring and put in a database or a structured wiki, so that we can extract the data for meta-analysis and specialized information retrieval. That is what I also do in the Brede Wiki. I use the templates to store such data. So if such a system as yours is implemented we should not just think of it as a bibliographic database but in more broader terms: A data wiki.
