There are several different ways to make sure this stuff is curated
correctly but that isn't the problem. At least not the immediate one.
The problem is a lack of leadership driving the content.

Any project whether documentation, code, web, social etc... without
leadership is destined to fall by the wayside due to people focusing on
other things.
