o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o David & All --
The problem with the Chat Forum is its LTM -- it's like that film ''Memento'' -- The problem with the Journal is -- Who would read it? Anybody at the switches of power? No, they're all way too busy switching the switches. Many of us have long ago worn out our best wits saying what we've learned the very hardest way from the mess at Wikipedia -- wishing in the wind that somebody will not try and sell us WP 1.01 this time around. Every time I read one of those old acronyms I positively cringe -- and my friends and foes both will tell you how much I normally or otherwise like acronyms. Wikipedia took all the fun out of them, even for me. But still you keep repeating them. Let me continue to emphasize that Citizendium will get no honeymoon -- If it does not learn wiki pronto from all of the available data and all of the available feedback of those who went through the ringer with Wikipedia then it will go from pre-nuptial to irreconcilable indifference in the eyes of the public-spirited intelligentsia faster than you can say "Citizendium". There are lots and lots of folks who came, who saw, who got burned, or just got disgusted, all without notice, and the things that you are broadcasting in your media blintzes (sic) may wowie-zowie the bloggers, but it will all sound like the same old snake oil to veterans who have been to the front and died on the hill of Wikipedia beans.
