Clearly a diversion to the CZ mission of producing general encyclopedia articles. This is best left to a separate project.
I agree with Stephen on this one. At least, these articles with no editorial oversight should be clearly delineated and separated from Citizendium, because it would be hard to argue that we aim to become reliable if such articles are allowed in. It may indeed lead to an influx of authors and it will not do much harm if it's kept at some distance, so I don't see a reason to oppose the idea, but I do think I'll ignore it.
Generally, I think there are too many initiatives and too little working on the encyclopaedia (taken broadly to include supporting the people that need guidance). See also Aleta's post in another thread:
I've gotten I think my third e-mail from a young CZer saying we talk too much and nothing gets done and he's leaving.
I realize that my post here contradicts this sentiment, so I started an article on zero-sum game (I picked economics and mathematics, in that order, as workgroups). Wouldn't it be nice if everybody making a post in this thread improves that article (or some other article)?
