A noble aim, and I wish you luck. The problem you will face, I think, is in being sufficiently better to encourage people to read your encyclopaedia despite it being significantly less comprehensive than Wikipedia. Without readers, you will find it very hard to attract writers (you'll get some, but not enough to get the exponential growth that Wikipedia saw for its first few years).
This _is_ an issue. I think we can and will get exponential growth (although perhaps I'm being too optimistic), but it won't be on Wikipedia's scale unless something drastic happens.
Thanks for the encouragement, and I invite you to join ...
