I agree with his thoughts, but would add that for our purposes, the Wikipedia model would need to be tightened up. But rather than preventing contributions by all but a select few, I would hope to see the repository's growth overseen by a strong managing editor. I believe this was how the creation of the Oxford English Dictionary was accomplished.

An interesting book on this subject is ""Professor and the Madman: A Tale of Murder, Insanity and the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary" by Simon Winchester. here is the Amazon listing: http://tinyurl.com/yrbf9h
