It's not clear there's room for another general encyclopedia on the web. What they're describing Webypedia as sounds a bit like Knol, which was more like an unmoderated about.com than a Wikipedia competitor per se. (The notion that it was a Wikipedia competitor was entirely media-originated as they desperately cast about for something to say about it, and not from anything Google or Wikipedia said at any time.)
That said, there's already a Citizendium fork in progress, Argopedia http://www.argopaedia.org/ - though they appear not to understand CC licensing. Wikipedia needs competitors. The trouble is working out how one could be viable. Is Webypedia content going to be under a proper free license? That's the important question. If it is, I think we should be actively offering encouragement. - d. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
