Hi, Such a project started already. It's in the "incubator" stage. See https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/arq
Several things need to happen for this project to acquire its own domain, probably arq.wikipedia.org , but the most important thing is that this project needs to have active writers. The current writing activity is low: see https://tools.wmflabs.org/meta/catanalysis/index.php?cat=0&title=Wp/arq&wiki=incubatorwiki#distribution_201506 If you write there more, it will be eventually approved.
