what's your take on the new online encyclopedia?

Hi Raven. I guess only time will tell regarding how good it is. I wonder though, since this guy is the founder of Wiki, why he doesn't just make the changes in Wiki rather than start all over?

This is the first I've heard of this. Thanks.

It's something a person sees over & over with certain personality types.

Start a great idea, develop it, others climb aboard and soon the originator feels alienated, leaves/is ousted-goes off in a huff to recreate his baby.

The fact is that the type of person who's good at starting things often isn't the type who's good @ running them

EDIT-there's also these loonies-

"As biases become more prevalent in communally edited encyclopedic websites like Wikipedia.com and the newly formed Conservapedia.com, educators are saying it is more important than ever for students to learn to use credible research tools ...."

One can't argue with that, however.
