[WikiEN-l] Citizendium

[WJhonson at aol.com]

So after the mention of Citizendium once again, I applied to join it.
The application page is extremely verbose.  So much so, that it's a  bit of 
a turn-off.
 
All I wanted to do was sign up and tweak a few articles to see if the  
interface was better.
They make you create a 50-word biography.  What's the point of  that?  So I 
used that space to bitch.  My application was  rejected.
 
I know Larry Sanger reads this.  Maybe he could respond.  "We  don't want 
people who bitch".  Sometimes people bitch for the right  reasons.
 
What I would do, is make the Sign Up page be at the most "Choose a  
username, choose a password".  There's really not much point in making it  
extremely difficult to join a project.
