Red ink shows missing links in Citizendium
Six months ago I wrote that "One of Wikipedia's founders, Larry Sanger, says he plans to rewrite it -- as Citizendium, a "citizens' compendium" (Wikipedia reaches a fork in the road -- and takes it).
Well, Citizendium has now opened its doors to the general public, following a four-month pilot project.
The original plan was to "fork" Wikipedia, with Citizendium taking updates from Wikipedia until their articles diverged. However, very little of Wikipedia has been carried over, and there are plenty of red links in the Citizendium.
Note: Citizendium requires contributors to use their real names. You can consider this part of the backlash against the widespread abuse of anonymity on the net. I expect more sites to take the same line....
