For those we lost, We will not forget 09/11/2001 “Our God given unalienable rights are given to us all as individuals. They tell us what we may do for ourselves, and they are the embodiment of liberty. The so-called rights that government gives to some of us are parcelled out to select groups as classes. They tell us what one class of people may require another to do for them, and they are the very essence of slavery.”

Citizendium v. Wikipedia

There's an interesting blog post about an alternative to Wikipedia that was pointed out to me by Abi Paramaguru:

Wikipedia is the most prominent of the new-age collaborative information sources. But even its champions acknowledge that there are challenges, and choices to be made.

Larry Sanger, one of Wikipedia's co-founders, has long been dissatisfied with some aspects of its management. He announced on 17 October 2006 his intention to spawn a fork, or republished version, of Wikipedia that is intended to progressively develop higher-quality, more reliable articles.

Larry Sanger has a reply taking exception to the post and Roger Clarke has a response. It might be interesting to follow the comment thread. In the meantime, I think I'll give Citizendium a look. It probably won't be ready to use until sometime after the first of the year, but it looks like an interesting approach.
