line collaboration works and what skills are needed to make it work.
I also observe a huge disparity on the expectations.
The attempt to "fix Wikipedia" by forking a new wiki with a new
process that "encourages experts" may be a good idea or a bad one,
but we will know if it works or not when it happens. Let's see in
three months time...
Looking at the responses here and elsewhere, it seems that a lot of
Wikipedians following this WANT Citizendium to work, but doubt that it will.
