Well, the ideas collected on the Wiki Research Ideas page seemed to favour a 
specific structure, but, yes, you're right : it would be much easier to start

portal by the next few days (we could actually get some inspiration from the 
signpost model).

It might be a good way to start the whole business, as we are all involved in 
wiki studies. This initial scope could still be extended if the journal turn 
out to be a lasting project.
