Interesting thoughts on quality.
For me the telling line in that blog post is:
"Even if we don't get it right, someone eventually will, because it is possible and because there is such a huge potential demand for it. I look forward to that day!"
That is pretty much what citizendium is relying on. That there is a "huge potential demand" for perfection instead of "just good enough". I don't see that this is a gimme, but it could be true. I cast my lot with "just good enough", so will have to forego perfection.

There is a huge demand for high quality, but people prefer "existing good enough" to "hypothetical high quality" ...
Which is why I think we should spport http://en.veropedia.com/ so people can see where the high quality is not hypothetical, and not have to prefer "good enough".
