Though I've heard of experts being scared away by an "insular community."

IMHO those dudes are heading straight for political infighting on a
scale that WP has never seen. Academics can be some of the lowest and
dirtiest politickers around - one of the reasons I got out of it in
fact. Ironically, WP could get some new contributors that way - when the
"authors" with shorter CVs get stepped on by the "editors" with
longer,
uh, CVs, irrespective of technical merit, WP is going to start looking
pretty appealing. Not to mention that CZ is basing their material on WP
articles, so if you want to get something into CZ, writing it into an
unforked WP article will be the easiest route.
