But the goal of the project is to create the largest free resource of knowledge
that has ever existed. Wiki is a means to that end. So if some aspects of that
process start to result in a drive toward mediocre content, then we *must* make
some changes to put us back on track. 

Adding some type of article review system that could scale to cover a large
part of our content would be a massive improvement. Experts should have seats
on those review boards, but so should non-experts. Neither the views of experts
or non-experts would carry more weight - both would be equal (the consensus
view of the board itself is what would count).
