Should we offer to host citizendium?
Headlines of tomorrow: "Wikipedia buys out competitor. Chucked-out Editor-in-Chief Larry Sanger says: They try to defend their de-facto information monopoly before their challengers become too strong". Or something like that.
It doesn't actually accuse us of any criminal activity. So by our standards not to bad.
Okay, pure speculation. But I don't think it's a good idea to host them. If we want to keep them for the innovative effects of competition we should keep them organizationally separate from Wikimedia.
That is rather dependent on their continuing to exist.
If Wikimedians want to rescue them: donate money to them.
In this case throwing money at the problem isn't going to work. There are deeper issues.
