It did not develop a centralized evolving core because there was never a system in place to aggregate that core.For an open project, even in the software world, if you want to receive submissions, you need a method of receiving them. Otherwise you have no choice but to watch your project fork. WotC utterly failed to provide this. If that is what they really wanted, they would have deployed some kind of version control system with an open portal for change/addition submissions. This can be done either manually, by opening a mailbox/email with personel dedicated to reviewing and incorporating submissions into the SRD. or it could be more of an automated system where change submissions are queued automatically and displayed for public review. To be finalized would require sufficient "votes" from the community before being admitted to the "code base". Of course there are other ways of doing this as well.</blockquote>
