It's hard for me to imagine, in a commercial setting. Wikipedia demonstrates that it's possible, but the financial aspect makes it so hard to manage incentives.

It's hard for me to imagine, in a commercial setting. Wikipedia demonstrates that it's possible, but the financial aspect makes it so hard to manage incentives. Sellers have every incentive to game the system, up to and including bribing the curators, and curators presumably like money as much as anybody else. You can monitor the behavior of one guy sitting in a room performing curation, but when you start scaling up and have thousands of curators, all over the world, doing the same thing for thousands of different combinations of language, subculture or market segment, etc...it's hard to picture how it could work.
