That is more a question for wikipedia. From our point of view, anything
is better than nothing as long as it is accurate. If you write something
on behalf of the project, I'd recommend getting the project to review it.
Given the open nature of Wikipedia, I'd probably suggest simply sending
the project a link to the page when it's created. They can then make any
edits they want, eg if something about the project was misunderstood, but
without volunteers being blocked awaiting a project's "blessing"
When we added the page for Apache Tika (the lack of which inspired this
help-wanted task!), we did get a little bit of push-back from experienced
wikipedians until we added all the categories, info-boxes, citations etc.
It might be worth asking on a suitable Wikipedia forum (the talk page for
the ASF category perhaps?) for confirmation of the "viable minimum", to
make sure we abide by the wikipedia community norms on this sort of thing.
Thanks
