Quoting Nathan Awrich nawrich@gmail.com:
I wouldn't rely on the head start, since Wikipedia content is free for re-use. Anything we've got here thats good, they can copy and improve. However, that is based on a view of these enterprises as competitive. Really, they are complementary. The point, in this case, is the goal rather than the path. Wikipedia is useful _now_, but in the future it may be any one of similar projects. We could be Lycos or Infoseek foreshadowing Google. Works for me.
Well Citizendium for reasons I don't fully understand decided to delete all of their from-Wikipedia content that hadn't been already highly modified. So they seem to be determined to succeed without the free re-use which seems to me at least to be needlessly shooting oneself in the foot. I want my content to be reused. I'd likely not contribute if it had to be under a more restrictive license. But yes, if the best we do is to make a roadmap for someone to do even better than we have done we should be happy.
