Well there are two phases, framework and content. The framework is as you say: it needs to be a cathedral. The content needs to be of volume such that only a whole industry can create it: definitely a bazaar. The hard part then is designing a framework such as to allow content to easily flow together. Compare it to the Web: the first browser was created by an individual or small team, but the Web itself was not.
I think (could be wrong) that part of the goal of the core team is to create a mind that can largely navigate huge amounts of data for itself, something that has the basis to learn autonomously on the Web. It may take a phase of a lot of input from many hands to get there but then again it may not.
