I've already proposed that at http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikimorial . 

The idea is to simply expand the focus of the the Sep11wiki (which is a rather
lonely place).

The only major stumbling block was the name - some people didn't like
'Wikimorial'. Other ideas were: 
*Wikimedia Memorial (generic and boring, IMO), 
*Wikipeople (I liked this one so I bought the domain names), 
*Wikifamily (another one I liked - although in the U.S. right-wing Christian
fundamentalists have co-opted the word "family").

Any other ideas?
