The Wikipedia Library project needs a platform that can help manage, monitor, and distribute accounts to partner resources. We have documented the concept at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikipedia_Library/Processes/Library_card_platform_proposal .

In the next couple months, @ThatAndromeda is developing the first phase of developing the platform, with a focus on making more efficient our publisher database access distribution by automating much of our current distribution process. Currently, the 6 sprints that will meeting the following Milestone:
T118245: Milestone 1:Begin Running Django app with account classes
T118251: Milestone 2: Resource metadata and access grants
T118252: Milestone 3: Resource grant applications
T118253: Milestone 4: Application management workflow
T118254: Milestone 5: Internationalization
T118271: Milestone 6: Cleanup

Subsequent the initial development, which will last ~ 3 months from November 2015 to early February 2016, we are planning on at least 2 more phases of development: the second phase will provide ipproxy authentication using a tool like OCLC's EZProxy, and integrated search across partner databases, and the third phase will look at simplifying access processes for readers, editors, and other potential research tools that can be integrated into Wikipedia's reference environment ( see our map of ideas here )
