I wonder if a wiki format would help. A culture of ownership of articles can work on a wiki - where others may add or correct things and the main author may overtly or tacitly approve.
It would certainly seem a sensible place to implement flavour-of-the-month, stable revisions... (you'd need a stronger form than the one Brion says we're looking at, though - perhaps only allowing the original author or an assigned coauthor to approve changes? But same concept) I wonder if there's anyone who might be interested in trialling the idea.
There is the 1.0 CD project, which is adding articles to the list one article (or version) at a time. You don't need a separate wiki for that - just a list of links.
