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.
With a million items in the wikipedia, there would be a strong
tendency for the groomed version to get way behind, and if that
happens most users won't use it, why would anyone assist in the
grooming?
There may be a reason why they would, but a big advantage of timeouts
is that that can't really happen.
