interesting one, here is an attempt...

1) Find an author/publisher willing to open source an existing textbook as the 'seed' for each subject. The seed is very important.

2) Have a wikipedia style site. Decide whether and how contributors and contributions will be managed.

3) Have periodic or incremental reviews by a panel on each subject. Panel could be fairly large with voting on each incoming change.
