CZ:An extended introduction to the Citizendium

I'm going to be writing here "in real time" on the wiki a speech about CZ that I'll be delivering Thursday evening at Eastern Michigan State U. as part of a series organized by Marshall Poe. (I'll be speaking also on Friday--one session will be an introduction to how to use the CZ system, and that should be videotaped, so we might be able to use it!)

The constraints here are (1) the speech is for a university audience that, while familiar with the Internet (of course), is not particularly familiar with CZ; (2) 30 minutes (leaving plenty of time for Q&A); (3) should explain the specific advantages of the CZ system. I also want to make sure that CZ is not portrayed as merely a response to Wikipedia, but as something valuable in and of itself. Of course, I'll be unable to avoid mention of Wikipedia and I don't think it's necessary or desirable to entirely avoid mention. --Larry Sanger
