We *want* people to contribute to the Wikipedia, it got where it is today by
being incredibly quick and easy to edit.
Adding some review process to the wikipedia, which may never, ever finish?? Why?
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.
