Also fom the article: "He said the encyclopedia had set a benchmark of a 20-minute turnaround to update the site with user-submitted edits to existing articles" That'll probably be faster than us once flagged revisions is switched on (compare with the German expeiment, where backlogs are up to 3 weeks) which should make for an interesting role reversal.
