There are two policy/guideline working drafts on en.wp that Stuart was
referring to.  They could use really input.

   - Research policy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:Research
      - Passed RFC and became policy for about 15 minutes before being
      nominated for deletion
      - Plenty of discussion on the talk page about what should be done next
   - Subject Recruitment Approvals Group (SRAG):
   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:SRAG
      - Was a guideline for 15 minutes along with WP:Research
      - Most of the discussion about SRAG is @ WP:Research
