An example.

Each month, or perhaps quarter, a geographic, disciplinary, and cultural WikiProject are chosen to be that period's collaborations. So, for this theoretical period, just for the purposes of having some names to deal with, [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Chad]], [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine]], and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Theatre]] are chosen as the collaborations. Those interested in working on the collaborations would be asked to contribute content relative to their specialty to articles relating on the collaboration subjects, in whatever article or articles that content would most reasonably be placed. Thus, editors involved in Islam might add content to [[Islam in Chad]] or some similar article, articles on how medicine is viewed and practiced in Islam and Islamic individuals past and present involved in medicine, and content in articles on Islamic theatre, performers, and the like, as their part of the collaborations. Preferably, of course, all those involved in the collaboration would focus most of their attention on content of reasonable importance to either the titular "collaboration" project or their own project. By trying to bring developments in this way, I think we have a much better chance of getting real collaboration accomplished, as we won't be asking individuals to try to write articles away from their specific fields of interest, but rather to contribute content relative to their field of interest regarding certain subjects.
