But the key issue, I think, is simply this:
prescriptive collaboration
models do not, as a general rule, work on Wikipedia. The vast
majority of editors make content contributions on topics of their
choice; if they're told that they *must* work on article X, they'll
simply refuse. This proposal, basically, assumes that there's a
supply of editors somewhere willing to do work (which happens to be
"not fun" in a major way) according to some central bureaucracy's
dictates; in my experience, there simply isn't such a supply
available.
Prescriptive collaboration is an oxymoron.
