In general I like the idea. Unfortunately I don't see how to make it work in practice. If we were dealing with an intelligent global entity, a good suggestion of a new system could be sufficient. In this situation we would just show how, with a bit of financing and effort, we could considerably enhance the global information flows, and the system would thank us and start working. I'll try to sketch some ideas on how to organize such process in this case, as I agree that this is as a crucially important issue.
Lets think of a standard large Web index.
I suggest to divide the process into a few stages. It is nowhere near a system spec. Do not try to implement it one your home planet. I still think is has some merit though. All of these can be easily collected by the Web spider.
