[Ldsoss] Citizendium, a Wikipedia alternative

[Richard Esplin]

On NPR I heard about one attempt to address the apparent shortcomings of 
Wikipedia. Founded by Larry Sanger (one of the originals at Wikipedia), the 
beta wiki is called Citizendium:

http://en.citizendium.org

They believe that the quality of information will be improved by eliminating 
anonymity (though allowing pseudonymity), and encouraging "gentle" editing by 
contributors with verifiable credentials.

I'm not certain that Wikipedia is using a failed model, but I'm curious how 
Citizendium will compare over time.

Their LDS section is still really bare, providing a big opportunity for anyone 
who wants to contribute.

Too bad I need to work tonight.
