All, I thought I'd just pass along the good news that we'll be opening up the Citizendium pilot project wiki to our first set of invitees (of 350+ who are waiting) tomorrow at 11 AM Pacific. We've actually sent out the invitations this evening. The first to apply were the first invited, except for some truly world-class editors that we "fast tracked." We will add the rest of the invitees either gradually, if it takes time to absorb a very active group, or all at once, if we want to start with more of a bang. We haven't decided yet. We definitely want to start with a quorum of active people at least, if not a wild, throbbing mass of wikifying humanity. :-)
(Strictly speaking these aren't the first invitees. We've had a dozen or so people playing with the wiki for about 10 days now, and it's taken that much time just to make sure everything's working properly. Not only did our tech guys have to install the wiki and configure it, they had to upload all the Wikipedia articles and supporting junk, they also had to install all the server stuff, etc., etc.--amazing--they should report on what they've done. And I was trying to finish the policy outline, but after two days working on it I decided I was being an unnecessary bottleneck, and I'll continue working on it on the wiki!) More news, papers posted, blog started, policy draft posted, Executive Committee planned, personnel changes, etc., tomorrow or Monday. --Larry (who maybe shouldn't be spending his Saturday night this way, but what could be more exciting?) _______________________________________________ Citizendium-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.purdue.edu/mailman/listinfo/citizendium-l
