As it stands, the article you link here is a judgement seeking non-anecdotal data.

Unless your goals include preserving knowledge that is outside of WP's guidelines. WP drew the line for what is worth preserving in one place, there is room enough in the world for a service that draws the line somewhere else.

1. What does not work in WP's model that you will address? Moderation? Transparency? Funding?
2. How do you plan to have 1000x the number of articles on WP? How do you plan to moderate and follow the accuracy of these 6,000,000,000 articles?
3. Is it an English-only project or do you value international contributions?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Jude from Golden here. We won't do the reg wall - hold me to it :>. We want the information to be open and EASY to access, thus no reg screen. CC4.0
How about API access and textual dumps for the other kinds of analysis?
Hard to offer something for free if the server costs & maintainence are non-trivial.

What will be the monetisation ?
Will be interesting to see if it scales up...
I like the concept. I'd like to know how they plan on addressing auditability of content - where it comes from, how it changes over time, etc.
Jude from Golden here. TLDR answer on this important question and I’m interested in the community ideas on this problem set: 1. High visual transparency and open edit logs eg golden.com/wiki/Morphogenetic_Engineering/activity 2. Using real profiles so we can prevent bots / multi accounts etc. 3. Cross checking SPO/fact triples in the prose against our structured data to validate information. 4. Cross checking against…
I would much rather see a 'durable identity' process, whereby when someone sees my username as an author, they know it was authored by me. This goes beyond allowing or not allowing duplicate screennames (where you swap an I for l and impersonate a politician etc) -- consider authenticating edits and transactions with public key cryptography so I can assert my identity -- just not necessarily the one I can't change.
keybase.io is, of course, an innovator in this space and you should consider adopting their strategy for asserting identity online !
You can still make it a pain in the ass to create multiple accounts without asking for a government ID (which can be faked too, by the way!). ban multiple log-ins from single IP, have a phone number challenge, put a waiting period on the account, nothing is perfect but all of this is better than having to use my real name.

The blog post says, "Public topic pages will be free to access and the text available on CC 4.0." What does "CC 4.0" mean? There are many version 4 Creative Commons licenses. I looked at an actual Golden article and the bottom of the page says, "Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0; additional terms apply.
