Video is much more potentially editable than static
images. Consider
a 5 minute mini-documentary on [[Hurricane Katrina]], slide-show
style, with narration taken straight from the text of the Wikipedia
article and images taken from commons to match the narration. There
is a *lot* of potential for cooperative editing there, basically as
much or more than the text of a Wikipedia article.
The idea is probably ahead of its time, though, because AFAIK there
aren't any free (even as in beer) software tools to make such video
editing easy, let alone collaborative.

Actually the main problem with you scenario would be trying to meet
the different license requirements of the images.
