I do prefer WP, vexing though it may be. I bring this all up because if good manners were all there was to it, Sensei's Library would be a shining example.
What you describe is a pretty static example. Citizendium could turn out that way (its a risk with Larry's top-down preference that I think to see in his other projects), but in that case, I am out of there. For the rest, the basic structure is not even set up, Larry has some rough ideas, that's all. But I have been actively thinking about how to set up a wiki that would do the right job, and I am definitely going to participate there as I see more options there to get something better going than at Wikipedia with its inherent anti-expert attitude. If wikipedia would be willing to make some fundamental changes towards a more quality oriented goal than to the current process based goals, I would stay.
In that context, we not even have a content ArbCom filled with open minded academics and related experts who actually know how to deal with content disputes, it is conduct based one; maybe we should start a separate thread about that, because I have some ideas about that.
