The issue with Wikipedia is the fact it's a web-app, or something managed by few by technical nature, no matter how many third parties contribute. That's why we need decentralized and distributed tools where it's really hard to centrally govern anything. Think about HN, it's normally user friendly, mods do normally not work to censor but just to keep spam away, however HN is still a centralized services, we are all guest. On Usenet on contrary anyone can run it's own server and it's groups, there are moderated groups with mods acting as gods on land, others full of spam etc but overall a central governance it's not really possible. Now the issue: how to index and present coherent content in such setup. Well... It can be done with a community standard, so no formatted content but only tagged information anyone can inject in it's own template to render and a distributed search like YaCy built-in. Something we already see in many domains, webapp included, to a certain extent. The point is: how many are interested and how many will act against such free system for their own interests?
