This is not really a proposal, per se, and most certainly not a policy. It is merely an attempt at fostering better collaboration between already existing groups; what more it might produce or become depends entirely on the ideas and inclinations of the participants.

The WikiProject Council is a group of Wikipedians gathered to encourage—and assist with—the development of active WikiProjects, and to act as a central point for inter-WikiProject discussion and collaboration.

Objectives

Development
  • Provide recommendations on current best practices in WikiProject structure and operation, and encourage and assist individual WikiProjects interested in adopting these ideas.
  • Accept proposals or requests for new projects, and assist in their creation; or, alternately, point those making the requests to the appropriate existing projects when applicable ones already exist.
  • Assist WikiProjects with taking a more active role in the development of the encyclopedia, particularly by encouraging the adoption of various ways of ensuring the production of high-quality articles.
Coordination
  • Maintain a comprehensive directory of active WikiProjects and the notable departments or programs (such as article assessments, peer reviews, or collaborations) associated with each.
  • Assist in coordinating the work of independent sub-projects with their parent projects, and of projects having overlapping scopes with each other.
  • Provide a central forum for discussions on issues of interest to a wide range of WikiProjects, including inter-project collaborations and Wikipedia-wide programs.
