• The Citizendium (sit-ih-ZEN-dee-um), a "citizens' compendium of everything,"
  will be an experimental new wiki project that combines public participation with
  gentle expert guidance.  It
  will begin life as a "progressive fork" of Wikipedia.  But we expect
  it to take on a life of its own and, perhaps, to become the flagship of a new
  set of responsibly-managed free knowledge projects.  We will avoid calling
  it an "encyclopedia," because there will probably always be articles in the resource
  that have not been vouched for in any sense.

  The Citizendium (sit-ih-ZEN-dee-um), a "citizens' compendium of everything,"
  is an experimental new wiki project that combines public participation with
  gentle expert guidance.  It
  has begun life as a "gradual fork" of Wikipedia.  But
  it has taken on a life of its own and will, perhaps, become the flagship of a
  new set of responsibly-managed free knowledge projects.  We will avoid
  calling it an "encyclopedia," because there will probably always be articles in
  the resource that have not been vouched for in any sense--and because the sheer
  size of the resource actually changes the nature of the beast.

• The Citizendium (sit-ih-ZEN-dee-um), a "citizens' compendium of everything," is
  an experimental new wiki project.  The project,
  started by a founder of Wikipedia, aims to improve on the Wikipedia model by
  adding "gentle expert oversight" and requiring contributors to use their real
  names.
