Fantastic. It's really unfortunate that the article paints a simplistic Game-theory failure for all community efforts when there are already solutions out there that do work.
The Harper Reed article reminded me of this article [1] from a while back about how StackOverflow handles similar issues. Pretty similar, but maybe you will get something additional from it.
