A thought on possibly helping the "janitors", maybe you could have a larger group of people who can submit 'recomended changes' of a node, then the editor could just approve it. Thus the editors would still be a small group, but would (probably) greatly increase their efficiency..
This is such a good idea that in fact it is already implemented. The node Nodes To Consider (also referred to as NtC) does just that. It is accessible to all monks of level 6 or higher.
