Main differences of their approach to ours:

they target free to read PDFs/ HTML, we go for Wikimedia-compatible licensing and JATS
they target the English Wikipedia only, while we want to link multiple Wikipedias with the English Wikisource as well as Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata
they basically cover all scholarly topics (by way of lots of repositories), we are so far focused on PMC (due to our focus on JATS)

There is a draft write-up for the Signpost at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/Newsroom/Special_desk/Proposals/Citation_templates_now_better_at_flagging_free_access_content .
