Well, if the publication will be in fact a contribution of many authors, the "author" shown on the page should be rather called "editor in chief", collecting and checking other's people contributions.

So, if you contribute substantially to someone's else "knol" the author shown on the page will get income for your work...
I think you may be thinking about it from a more WIkipedia-centric view. I think anyone can start a new article. You're only the "editor-in-chief" of *your* insomnia article, but I can start my own easily enough.
This is why I don't see how this is better than normal web hosting, except for google of course, which will get more ad revenue... :)
