Welcome to the Citizendium Pilot Project!

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.

The list is constantly growing.

Disciplines

Citizendium personnel are informally divided up into discipline workgroups. Workgroup's homepages are at Φ. The articles corresponding to workgroup names are good places to look for important articles to edit, and we want these articles themselves to be excellent as well.

Our contributors

The Citizendium is like a lively bazaar, with authors and expert editors doing vigorous trade in words. Editors do not give top-down orders; they offer the occasional word of direction or advice, and can approve articles in their areas of expertise. Constables, who are barely needed in our very friendly community, ensure everything runs smoothly. These are all volunteers, contributing their time, energy, and profesional expertise in support of a shared vision.
