Description

"Larry Sanger of Wikipedia fame is starting a new project, the Citizendium, to address some of the problems of Wikipedia by setting up a more intelligent alternative. It will begin as a fork of Wikipedia and progress from there. It will have a two-leveled organisation, with academics and specialists as "editors" at the top, and editors, now called "authors", underneath. There will also be zero tolerance for the sort of abuse that is common on Wikipedia." (note from Alan Kazlev)
