No one on our side has the resources to do this, not in a formally organized respectable manner at least. It sounds nice to say, but it would take hundreds, maybe thousands, of professorial types decades to link this all together in a manner which could stand rigorous scrutiny. Through traditional academic channels, which are the only ones capable of handling a workload at this level, it would cost billions.
The cheaper option, wiki style work, would still cost a fortune. A wiki type project is out of the question without redeveloping the concept of the Wiki for more rigorous academic study. That is no trivial task. I've come close to embarking on a similar project, though not for this purpose. Had the contracts laid out and everything. The cost was minimum 5 million dollars, with 15 million being more likely. Oh, it would have taken nearly 5 years of R&D/prototyping to even begin. That is just for technical development. The grants etc to get people capable of filling the content correctly for my project (commercial, not in any way connected to "conspiracy theories") would have been at least $10 million for skeletal content and would have taken years with little to no income. To get staff smart and experienced enough to do it for "conspiracy" content would cost hundreds of millions over time because you more or less have to guarantee lifetime income. Those costs ignore legal fees and overhead.
