Aren't you basically describing readthedocs.io?

In the most technical terms, yes. The idea is not new or bizarre, but I see the same missteps repeated. For starters, the venture HAS to be a nonprofit with zero need for monetization. It will also need an inviting and easy to navigate user interface, accessible to the most nontechnical of users. You need to have a massive document library from multiple large players from day one, so you need to have a lot of contacts.

As I said it's not fully cooked, but I have spoken to a few people that could help me make it happen and they seemed open to it.
