--- Comment #10 from Jonathan Morgan <[email protected]> ---
Looks like a great candidate for an IEG:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG

I talked to James about this at Wikimania. I think it's a great idea and I'd be
working on it myself if I had time. If this goes forward, I'll help any way I
can.

One consideration: How many non-English Wikipedias have active WikiProjects,
and active Medicine WikiProjects? Probably fewer than you think. I know that
pt.wiki has an INactive Medicine WikiProject, and that's one of our bigger
Wikipedias. I think that question needs to be asked and answered in parallel
with implementation questions: no use making the tool if no one's going to use
it.

That said, I'm not convinced that this is within the scope of ANY Wikimedia
teams.  This project involves significant data analysis and some intensive
scripting (tho probably nothing that requires actual Mediawiki development
resources). As well as cross-wiki community organizing. Now, WMF doesn't have
any WikiProject support tools in the pipeline, or any concrete plans to help
WikiProjects in the near future, or any concrete plans to specifically support
collaboration on non-English Wikipedias. As much as I wish that were
different...
