It doesn't have to be a tangle if you set out the rules from the start.
Copyleft exists to protect projects and attribution exists to give
authors credit for their hard work.

A CC-BY-SA project should be doable. But I'm hoping to examples of
situations where educational materials were harmed by choosing an
attribution style license.

(also, if it's in a repository, the "who wrote what" becomes a bit
easier)

As for pulling in content from outside. Ask. Firstly ask if the author
would like their work included, then ask if they could relicense their
work to whatever is needed and then finally if the other two were met
with enthusiasm, ask them to join the team. :-)
