It seems that everyone is talking about Google's new Knol project - the Citizendium has got a tremendous amount of press as a result. So I wanted to add another note on the topic. At the Citizendium we are motivated by one thing only: to become the best knowledge base that Earth has ever seen. We believe we have, over the long term, a better chance at this than any other project. If Knol were to reveal a genuine expert contributor that was not already an expert editor on CZ whom CZ would approve as an editor, it would be my pleasure to welcome that person to become part of our new knowledge society. What our expert editors discover is that the expert-guided collaborative environment on the Citizendium is unprecedented, remarkably productive, and really without parallel. Delivering one's expert knowledge with the input from a general knowledge community helps all our editors to assess - and improve - the ways in which their knowledge is stored and communicated. Only the Citizendium does that. We are by no means complacent, and we intend fully to watch Google's new Knol project. We will utilize constructively any contributor that will genuinely add to the world's knowledge store by inviting them to join us an expert editor at CZ. Creating a new knowledge society is what the Citizendium is doing and every genuine expert should be an editor on CZ. Moreover, everyone who wants to work as part of an open, public project shoulder-to-shoulder with such experts should join us as well. --Larry
