I think you mean Peer-to-peer and don't mean that a country such as Russia or Saudi Arabia would own contents but that Wikipedia would be held in a distributed network. Is that what you mean? What software would be needed and what barrier exists to doing that in parallel to our present setup?
The very nature of wikis makes this impossible. If anyone can edit, how do the other peers know that they are now out of date? The entire system would be one big edit conflict.
