Yes,

Currently, with the private wiki test, the admins of the private wikis can
grant access to whichever OWW users they care to give access to.  It's
already been implemented.

We should definitely continue to approach other wikis, but there are many
community annotation wikis that will pop up over the next year or so...
E. coli -> as mentioned
SGD (yeast) -> moving community efforts to wiki
Myxo -> already have community annotation wiki

So, we'll see where everything leads... but it seems like a good idea to be
offering the service already.
