Yeah, that might have been the correct choice, though I consider this a not-yet-concluded experiment. It was an intentional choice to see how using a publicly editable document as built-in distillation goes.
In fact the document is not fully publicly editable, it still requires an admin to approve changes, so you should assume that everything in there is something that someone with modestly good judgment thought was worth including.
My first preference would actually to have made this a wiki page with all the that functionality that has (clear contributions that can be voted on), however our current wiki tech doesn’t handle concurrent editing and I was worried about that. Might have been fine though.
I’m interested in seeing an experiment using the wiki-option, esp. since that includes the ability to vote on contributions. I suspect the lack of concurrency isn’t going to be that big a deal. (Wikipedia does it somehow and I don’t think they have google-docs functionality)

Wikipedia has some kind of merge conflict tool that we don’t for wiki, but yeah, thinking about it now I think it probably would have been fine.
