"Well, of course Larry Sanger is now going to attack Wikipedia - he now owns the competition.
Wikipedia is absolutely incredible. I carry around the downloadable version (1.2 Gig) on my PDA. I can quickly access information on almost any subject and I use it all the time. AND IT'S COMPLETELY FREE.
Of course if I was about to write a college paper then I would not rely upon it and would cross-check all my facts with sources etc. But for the general edification of my noggin, it is fine"

Absolutely agree with your above statements Blacknad
I really wonder why Larry Sanger has opted out of Wikipedia?
His personal, original, and extremly successful idea.
Could he be a perfectionist? You have got have a very odd fixed
mental attitude, to want to compose an Encyclopedia in the first place.
Before Britannica went digital, people spent their whole lives
editing and revising the enormous leather bound volumes of Britannica. Just to own a set would cost you a years pay.
Strange, that Larry Sanger now wants to have another go at
compiling yet another encyclopedia. The information in it will still be the same?
How many robots is Larry going to have trolling the Web to compete with the 60yrs collecting and collating time of other encyclopedia's, and for how long? For what result?
If he is such a perfectionist he should have stayed with Wikipedia, and improved it, to his personal satisfaction.
This could become his nemesis
