Scope is another thing. Right now it's very hive centered, as that's the editors' main interest. It could be many things, even forks or interconnected individual instances focused on specific topics would be an option.

But whatever the content should be, it needs people who know about it, and know enough to create a wiki article that's really covering the topic in a way that everyone can learn from it.

Spreading the rewards might be the way to go, but if you look at the total rewards the posts got so far, and divide that by the amount of edits you'll realize that a few cents per contribution won't motivate anyone long term.
