I set up a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Proposals/Microtonal_Music,_Tuning,_Temperaments_and_Scales#List_of_important_pages_and_categories_for_this_proposed_group proposal for a microtonal music project in Wikipedia] that got 12 editors interested in working on it. I don't know how many microtonal articles there are there. Probably a few hundred of the most important ones. With 12 editors we could hugely improve on Wikipedia in an off-wiki copy working together, editors who know each other. Start it with guidelines that learn from Wikipedia's mistakes to prevent the same thing happening there as in Wikipedia e.g. more like Scholarpedia especially if it's mainly people with off wiki identities disclosed who you know are expert on microtonal music and can go to ask them for help with some question by a newbie of whether an article is accurate.

Wikipedia's* articleArticle count has increased from 1.5 million in 2007 to 5.7 million today: (1,560,000 to 5,710,186 ) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Size_of_Wikipedia#Wikipedia_growth_of_article_count]

* Daily visitors increasing slightly from 60 million per day in 2007 to 65 million today [https://analytics.wikimedia.org/dashboards/reportcard/#daily-unique-devices]

[https://analytics.wikimedia.org/dashboards/reportcard/#daily-unique-devices] That's a decrease of an average of 38 per article in 2007 to 11 per article today.
 
Meanwhile* the number of editorsEditors active enough to do 5 edits a month has decreased from 46,000 in 2007 to 30,000 today. (45953 to 28953). [https://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesWikipediansEditsGt5.htm]
 
So for articles per editor
That means the* number of articles per active editor has increased from 34 in 2007 to 197 today. And that's for editors that do only one edit a week.A
 
That's for editors that do around only one edit a week.
There are many editors doing many edits a day. But it's a case of one editor spreading their edits over numerous articles or focusing on only the central ones in their topic area.

* Editors with over 100 edits per month (a bit over three a day) has decreased from 4200 in 2007 to 3400 today (4173 to 3395).
There are 277 editors who do over 1000 edits a month, or about 30 a day, this number has stayed more or less steady for the last decade. Increase from 5631 to 20,614 per editor to day. [https://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesWikipediaEN.htm#editor_activity_levels]▼
So that's
 
* Increase from 374 articles per editor in 2007 to 1681 articles per editor today for this 100 per month 3 per day level
 
At a higher level,
 
* 1640 do over 250 a month, or around 8 a day. Decreased from 2107 at peak in 2007. Articles per editor increased from 740[https://www.google.com/search?q=1%2C560%2C000%2F2107] to 3483[https://www.google.com/search?q=5%2C710%2C186%2F1640]
