It's definitely in interesting concept. The major problem I see with this is the need for moderation when everyone is allowed to post everywhere. And that doesn't even consider the manual work needed to correlate the work of numerous individual contributors as mentioned at the bottom. This requires that the moderator tools are exceptionally strong to not take up a lot of time. One other issue that concerns me is that the vision requires a lot of participation to take off. Maybe I'm too pessimistic here, but I see a similar situation like those small business web sites with a section called 'special offers' or 'news' that is never updated. It just looks sad if e.g. you can vote on things in a list, and nothing has been voted on. A site should grow towards the described level of participation rather than go from basically nothing to that level.
