[WikiEN-l] Citizendium to launch this week

[Keith Old]

G'day folks,

Associated Press  reports that Citizendium will launch this week.

http://www.usatoday.com/tech/webguide/2007-03-25-wikipedia-alternative_N.htm

'This week, Sanger takes the wraps off a Wikipedia alternative,
Citizendium<http://www.citizendium.org/>.
His goal is to capture Wikipedia's bustle but this time, avoid the vandalism
and inconsistency that are its pitfalls.

Like Wikipedia, Citizendium will be non-profit, devoid of ads and free to
read and edit. Unlike Wikipedia, Citizendium's volunteer contributors will
be expected to provide their real names. Experts in given fields will be
asked to check articles for accuracy."
More in story.

It will be interesting to see what they actually deliver as opposed to
talking about delivering.

Regards


Keith Old
