I think that there would be user value in having available a
human-reviewed WP derivative of some sort.

I see the logical process as being a separate project.  It could be a
WP project, or another outside project.  Not a fork, but a grooming
process for articles.  All contributions made at WP, versions found to
be stable and useful then "promoted" to live on otherPedia.
