Citizendium to compete with Wikipedia

One of the founders of Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia, is about to launch a rival in an attempt to bring a more orderly approach to organising knowledge. Larry Sanger is setting Citizendium because he believes Wikipedia cannot control "persistent posters" who push their points of view. He does not believe that his co-founder, Jimmy Wales, has taken sufficient steps to make Wikipedia authoritative. However, can Sanger do better, given that "volunteers" are to become editors of his encyclopedia? (Via Financial Times)
