But the key issue, I think, is simply this: prescriptive collaboration models do not, as a general rule, work on Wikipedia. The vast majority of editors make content contributions on topics of their choice; if they're told that they *must* work on article X, they'll simply refuse. This proposal, basically, assumes that there's a supply of editors somewhere willing to do work (which happens to be "not fun" in a major way) according to some central bureaucracy's dictates; in my experience, there simply isn't such a supply available.
Prescriptive collaboration is an oxymoron.
