Instead of having someone work in solitude with occasional mailings back and forth on the list, I would rather have an open wiki for the collection of ideas from everyone. Then, if you really wanted, a single person can use those to create an 'editor edition' page that is only editable by them. Best of both worlds, or do you see it differently?
That's roughly how the O'Reilly "Python Cookbook" was done - open website for recipes, with the "best" taken and tidied up, filled out and published as a book by an editorial team. From my POV it worked well - the book is an excellent resource, and the website is still going strong as well. Paul.
