I really like the idea of "proof by wiki" that the author mentions. It had some success with the polymath proof of the Hales-Jewett theorem a while back (https://www.hypios.com/thinking/2010/01/13/massively-collabo...). Along a similar vein, the french group of mathematitions who published together under the pseudonym N. Bourbaki laid down a huge amount of mathematics in the 1930s. Their work became the foundation for much of the rigorous mathematics of the last century.
Of course, no-one ends up with a famous theorem under their name as no one person can claim they proved the theorem. But from the point of view of the mathematics world, it seems like a great idea.
