Citizendium Blog

It’s been awhile since we had major press coverage — mercifully, because when it hits, I tend to be completely co-opted and I can’t get any work done.  Well, the London Times has, rather out of the blue, done an article about the Citizendium.  It’s a nice one!  But really: are we merely a backlash?  We are a forward lash.  A version of the article will appear in the print version as well.  The article is apparently based on some old information, but I was given the chance to update them.  The e-mail comment you see in the article was sent in just a few hours ago!

As this was appearing, I was interviewed by the Washington Post for an article in their weekend magazine.  I think the article is about Wikipedia, but we should get a mention anyway.

Also, Sept. 15 is fast approaching.  That’s one year since I first announced the idea for the Citizendium–but 10.5 months since the launch of the pilot project, and about 5.5 months since public launch of CZ Beta.  Chances are, we will just have to do a press release, and sooner rather than later.  So I’ll be preparing a general update sometime soon.  I am preparing one anyway–partly for a grant application, partly for two different major foundations that, very gratifyingly, contacted me, following up on previous conversations.
