It's a pretty neat idea. I think we should start with trying to get access to JSTOR. Gmaxwell's objection is one that we should, I think, leave aside. JSTOR access for Wikimedia editors would be quite handy, although I'm not sure how many could use it or would avail themselves of it were the opportunity publicized.
We should avoid general assumptions about any group of people, including ours. For instance, either that many editors have access to these resources already (I do, but I see no reason to believe "many" do), or that "most of academia" has any particular opinion of Wikimedia and its projects. Perhaps this suggestion was posted to the wrong list - foundation-l would be more appropriate, since I don't think individual editors should be approaching organizations like JSTOR without the prior notice and approval of the Foundation.
