That's a useful FAQ. May I suggest adding it as a link from the main
page of your wiki?
I'd do it myself, but the explanation of the email is @ by you unless
you release it, so... :)

Hi Piotr,
http://WikiLit.referata.com is the project website for a comprehensive
literature review of scholarly research on Wikipedia. Unlike permanent
long-term sites like AcaWiki (which compiles summaries of scholarly
studies of all subjects) and WikiPapers (which compiles bibliographic
and other details of scholarly research on wikis), our site is a
temporary project site for a literature review of a very narrow subset
of studies: those that focus on Wikipedia. Our goal is to host our
extracted literature review data there while we are in the final
stages of the review, complete and clean it up, and then when
completed, eventually export it all to long-term sites like AcaWiki
and WikiPapers.
We have no intention whatsoever to provide an alternative to these
sites--we truly appreciate the amazing amount of work that has gone
into them and that is required to keep them going, and we have no
intention to do that kind of work ourselves :-). On the contrary, once
our data collection is completed and the data is cleaned, we hope to
support these sites by feeding high-quality data to them. (Admitted,
though, there might be license incompatibilities with AcaWiki, since
our data is licensed CC-BY-SA whereas theirs is CC-BY.) At that point,
our site will probably be closed for edits, and we will only point
people to those other sites if they want to add anything new, and we
also intend to provide exports of the dataset in various formats, for
which we've already received quite a few requests.
Our project team is constantly working heavily on the site--we've made
over 4,000 internal edits involving adding and cleaning up data since
we first launched the site on March 1, not counting edits by external
contributors--which we greatly appreciate, since people who edit their
own articles are probably the most accurate! You see, this is actually
an internal project site that we're exposing externally to 1) get
feedback and help; and 2) share data in beta stage of development. We
hope to complete the project in the next couple months.
I hope that clears up the difference. We certainly hope that the
existence of our site is not distracting or discouraging anyone from
contributing to WikiPapers, which we wholeheartedly support!
Regards,
Chitu

Good question.
A more detailed explanation would be welcome, but it seems that
WikiLit is focused on research done exclusively at Wikipedias, and
WikiPapers is focused on all wikis researchs.
Maybe a fusion on project goals and data already available in one
single big project make it more interesting to contribute or even to
get moved to Wikimedia Foundation servers (as part of the revamp on
Proposals for new projects being drafted on the "Sisters projects
committes" too on draft stage
