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 article count has increased from 1.5 million in 2007 to 5.7 million today: (1,560,000 to 5,710,186 )
