I was just reading through the very intelligent commentary here and it occurred to me - why don't we arrange by decade? I mean, we would of course be starting out with the Fleming and progress by author and film in chronological order.  The benefit of this is that we can map the character's "evolution" with cited commentary from each of the actors portraying the character and subsequent written treatments. So long as we focus on how real people wrote/portrayed Bond, we'd avoid any in-universe issues.
This would seem a nice middle ground and has the added benefit of - once we are all done with it - having the only real sections undergoing ongoing editing would eventually be the more current decades, and not the whole history. Thoughts? -
