Sure, crowdsourced over time (the bible..). But what is wrong with wanting to understand the author's original intent? There is plenty of time over the next hundreds of years for the work to be re-interpreted.
Didn't some of our greatest open-source tools start from a single source before being disseminated among us to evolve?
