So after the mention of Citizendium once again, I
applied to join it.
The application page is extremely verbose. So much so, that it's a bit
of
a turn-off.
All I wanted to do was sign up and tweak a few articles to see if the
interface was better.
They make you create a 50-word biography. What's the point of that? So
I
used that space to bitch. My application was rejected.
I know Larry Sanger reads this. Maybe he could respond. "We don't want
people who bitch". Sometimes people bitch for the right reasons.
What I would do, is make the Sign Up page be at the most "Choose a
username, choose a password". There's really not much point in making it
extremely difficult to join a project.

An effort is made to identify your expertise. My problem is that I'm not
particularly interested in writing articles on divorce law, and also,
although I have a Juris Doctor degree, that is not an actual professional
level degree from a legal perspective, there are higher professional
studies. Only a few words are required. A rather low test of your
patience.
