So let me ask the obvious, if perhaps a little crass, question: Why
would anyone volunteer to help build one, when anyone can build their
own (and, as Lee points out, reap the right hand link benefits)?

I do agree that this is probably the best idea Google has come up in a
while. A bit reminiscent of Squidoo (which is also supposed to enable
subject matter experts to put together collections of resources and
profit from their expertise in the process). Unlike Squidoo though,
this actually looks like it could be useful for end users.
