What's the differentiator from Citizendium?
I'm working on a FAQ at the moment. You can see the current version (which is a real draft) at http://en.epistemia.org/wiki/Epistemia:Frequently_asked_questions. Basically, my notes (which need to be expanded upon) are that Citizendium: * is overly restrictive; * is not very dynamic or global; * has failed to gain significant public support, after over two years of operation; * has not been growing exponentially; instead, growth is a "straight line"; * alienates people by requiring all contributors to use their real names; and * is a knee-jerk reaction to Wikipedia. Epistemia basically addresses these problems by being unbureaucratic, having a low barrier to entry, and being more globally-orientated. —Thomas Larsen _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
