It sounds like it's just going to be a database of boilerplate / sample / template legal docs that people can contribute to. I guess their point is that small firms can pool their resources, just like a big firm is just a group of lawyers sharing their resources. A big firm would have a big bank of forms that other lawyers can utilize to save time.
However, as a small firm I can signup with a form building product from Westlaw and have highly detailed, quality forms available, knowing they are kept up to date with relevant changes in the law, and I get a form building component that asks me questions and replicates data to save time and make things easy. The cost for a product like this for one user access to a group of practice area forms is around $160/month.
As for curated Q&A... I'm not sure what that means but it sounds like skilled practitioners will share their expertise in practice quides. There are already plenty of these out there though. Pretty much every practice area has a practice manual that has processed the law into digestible, practical text. Yes, you have to pay, but if you really having paying clients you shouldn't be trying to skimp on $200/mo for access.
If I have invested hours of my time into building a custom legal document for a client, I'm not going to share that with other lawyers for free, either.
