I think we've painted ourselves into a corner, and created a project where actual "writers" are not welcome, and where "editors" rule. In the rest of the world, writers are, as has been mentioned elsewhere here, hard to find, whereas editors are almost commodities. (Truly excellent editors are another matter, rare birds as well.) Writers without editors famously make bad books, but editors without writers make for boring books.

Very well put.
