Federico, This is a really neat initiative and brings together a lot of thinking around oa repositories, indexes, apis, citation practices, and author engagement.
I have one request if you don't mind... *Could you share the email text that you're using to send to authors with this group?* I am not concerned if publishers don't like this project, but I wouldn't want them to be upset* just because* language gave them a misunderstanding about how Wikipedia treats copyright (which is we treat it appropriately, and share freely whenever possible).
