By the way, I'm sorry to those who have been waiting, but I hope to announce our license before *too* much longer. The announcement will be accompanied by a very long essay, which I haven't finished yet. Please don't assume the license will be incompatible with Wikipedia's...there's a decent chance it will be compatible.
Ony a chance? Phooey.
Larry has posted to citizendium-l saying that with the WMF/FSF/CC announcement, that a future GFDL will be CC-by-sa compatible, that the Citizendium licence *will not* be GFDL. (Which is IMO quite sensible, 'cos the GFDL sucks for massive-collaboration articles of a few pages, for images, for motion pictures ...)
Yeah, but the other possibility is that the license will be CC-BY-NC-SA.
The very fact that Larry expects people to contribute their work to Citizendium without even knowing what license is going to be used strikes me as incredibly wrong.
Please don't contribute to Citizendium. Not yet. If you think you might want to, drop a note to Larry telling him to pick a license first. And preferably, tell him not to pick a non-commercial only license.

"Well-reasoned, polite discussion of the nature of online knowledge production communities, with special but not exclusive focus on community policy (production, governance, management) questions; "the new politics of knowledge" broadly speaking." What, is something wrong with wikien-l??
*cough* It's an ideal to work towards.
