Something like StackOverflow or HN is pretty much how I was thinking it would work, although with less emphasis on the voting. Voting would still be there, as a "quality score" of the article, but it would be time-based listings so it's still more like a news site. There would need to be a way to earn the right to be an editor, either by contributing in minor ways until your 'karma' has built up, or some other way, to stop too much "fluff" making it to the site. Although I guess the voting down of articles would still prevent that. Maybe a simple news-themed version of HN with "order by date & article score > 10" and throw in StackOverflow style editing.
