The Citizendium's latest press release:
Citizendium Wiki Celebrates One Year Online
New Knowledge Society Takes Root, Flourishes
October 30, 2007 - It has been one year since the private launch of the
Citizendium (http://www.citizendium.org/) wiki, an online reference source
aiming to create "the world's most trusted knowledge base." The innovative
non-profit project combines free-wheeling, open wiki collaboration with real
names and guidance by expert editors.
Since then, more than 2,100 people have joined as authors and editors and
3,300 articles are under development. The project has tripled its article
count since its public launch last March. Also, the rate at which it creates
new articles has tripled in the last ten months and doubled in the last one
hundred days.
"We've grown nicely, and are now clearly accelerating," said the project's
founder and Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Larry Sanger, who is also co-founder of
Wikipedia. Sanger, in a progress report
(http://www.citizendium.org/oneyearandthriving.html), used the occasion to
"debunk myths" about the project, acknowledge significant progress, announce
several new initiatives for the expert-guided online project, and make some
bold predictions.
