What you describe is a pretty static example. Citizendium could turn out 
that way (its a risk with Larry's top-down preference that I think to 
see in his other projects), but in that case, I am out of there. For the 
rest, the basic structure is not even set up, Larry has some rough 
ideas, that's all. But I have been actively thinking about how to set up 
a wiki that would do the right job, and I am definitely going to 
participate there as I see more options there to get something better 
going than at Wikipedia with its inherent anti-expert attitude. If 
wikipedia would be willing to make some fundamental changes towards a 
more quality oriented goal than to the current process based goals, I 
would stay.

In that context, we not even have a content ArbCom filled with open 
minded academics and related experts who actually know how to deal with 
content disputes, it is conduct based one; maybe we should start a 
separate thread about that, because I have some ideas about that.
