Wikipedia Clone?

NPR Morning Edition podcasts the project by Wikipedia’s co-founder, Larry Sanger to create a rival encyclopedia site. Sanger says Citizendium will require contributors to use real names and prove expertise. And experts will be asked to check for accuracy.

From citizendium.org:

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 that model by adding “gentle expert oversight” and requiring contributors to use their real names.

At least some of the external links on Citizendium.org show the Google nofollow attribute which blocks link credit from Google search results. Wikipedia previously installed the nofollow code on external links.
