This is all well and good, having a review board and experts stuff and all... But is it really necessary?
Yes - we are getting slammed in the media (and by school teachers and librarians) for being an untrustable source *and* we want a way to approve content for publication.
1. We must do something. 2. This is something. 3. Therefore we must do this.
It's the jump from 2. to 3. that I'm entirely unconvinced by.
I suggest that a more Wiki-like process - something that plays to our strengths - should be tried before instituting a review board, at least inside Wikimedia rather than as a forked thing.
