The idea, I think, is to get the content from everyone and then have a single person put it together into a cohesive whole. This person will do the lion's share of the work, but not having to generate all the content as well is a huge burden removed. With this approach, the idea is that one person would not have to dedicate as much time which makes the whole effort more likely to happen.
