I filled out my application some weeks ago, will all the usual qualifications (tenured faculty member, 60 pubs, 50+ years of research, etc.) I thought I'd hear back, but I guess that the start-up work for Citizendium is substantial, so I'm on some kind of a waiting list. I got no invitation, so I assume I'm not one of the 350. How will this work?
I'm new to the list, so maybe it's all been discussed, described before. I'll send a note about Google searching of public Mailman lists, after I've checked out adapting my such search (for my bionlp.org archives) to the Citizendium list. - Bob Futrelle Northeastern University On 10/29/06, Larry Sanger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 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.
