Why do you bother with Wikipedia or Mediawiki?  Just use some 
ready, off-the-shelf encyclopedia or content management system.

Linux and its various browsers and spell checkers are being built 
and improved right now, by people just like those who build and 
improve Mediawiki and Wikipedia.  You don't have to be part of 
this.  It's completely voluntary.
