Welcome to the Citizendium Pilot Project!
This is the home page for the Citizendium pilot project. Our aim here is to set up a functioning Citizendium wiki encyclopedia project, demonstrate that it can work, and get it ready for a public launch.
What is the most important thing that we could be doing here? Simple: work on articles. The more articles we greatly improve over the Wikipedia versions, the more viable our enterprise is going to look to the rest of the world. So please get started!
If you're new, please read how to get started with the Citizendium pilot! It tells you to use [[Category:CZ Live]] on articles you've edited, and other essential tips.
Update: We are back. We spent 16 hours restoring and repairing the database after the "anonymous" account was erronously deleted. Lesson? Don't mess with Anon-y-mous.

Need help?
If this is your first visit, here are some tips:
- See how to get started with the Citizendium pilot
- Make sure your account has been activated. You should have received a mail back from personnel@citizendium.org saying we've let you in.
- If you think you should be able to view a page, do a "hard refresh" (ctrl-F5 in Windows) of the page you're trying to visit. We might still be figuring out the proper settings for caching.
