This is roughly what the Citizendium project was aiming for. Sadly it seems it's not doing well these days.

Exactly! The fact of the matter is Accreditation and the State go hand-in-hand. You can go full anarchism like Wikipedia (and thats' great!) but if you want something a bit more curated, a bit more "official", you need officers (by the etymology even!) and you need funding, i.e. state support.
