You could seed your new project with content from an existing one (as Citizendium tried at one point), that can get around the issue of having no readers to start with - you can start attracting readers at the same time as you attract writers. It becomes very difficult to be sufficiently different from Wikipedia if you start with identical content, though, and I agree that that is required for any real success. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
