Dear $1,
We're delighted to welcome you to the Citizendium.org encyclopedia project as an author. Thanks for your interest, and we hope you'll enjoy adding to the world's knowledge alongside our many other contributors.
You should be aware that no one will be assigning you work: this is a "bottom-up" Web 2.0 project, and it thrives precisely because people work on whichever encyclopedia topics they want, whenever they want. Many people find this liberating. We hope you will "be bold"!
