Hi David, not sure what you are looking for, so here is a bit of an overview of how it went so far, as a basis for digging deeper.
Initially, the journal inquired with WikiProject Computational Biology and WikiProject Molecular and Cellular Biology, offering "to help establish new Wikipedia pages in the field of computational biology that are not currently covered, either at all, or exist only as a stub." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2011-09-26/News_and_notes#Academic_journals_consider_partnering_with_Wikipedia After quite positive feedback, the journal contacted potential authors, the first article was written (on a CC BY-licensed wiki, http://topicpages.ploscompbiol.org/ ) and reviewed both the classical journal way and by the WikiProjects named above (cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Computational_Biology&oldid=485777954#PLoS_Computational_Biology_to_Contribute_Wikipedia_pages.3F ), then it went into production at the journal, and when it came out there, the existing stub article on the English Wikipedia was expanded by pasting in the wiki version of the journal article: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Circular_permutation_in_proteins&action=historysubmit&diff=484610239&oldid=475902965 . The article has since developed the normal wiki way (cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Circular_permutation_in_proteins&action=historysubmit&diff=484610239&oldid=475902965 ), and it remains linked to and from the static journal version ( http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1002445 ) that is indexed in PubMed and other scholarly databases. Work on future Topic Pages has begun - e.g. at http://topicpages.ploscompbiol.org/wiki/Viral_phylodynamics . The process is not cast in stone, and suggestions on how to iron out some potential rough edges are more than welcome.
