Sanger is no longer associated with the Citizendium project. But for him the penny still hasn’t dropped. Snippy personal remarks at this remove reflect poorly on his judgement and do nothing at all for the project.

Whether it will survive is anyone’s guess, but given its lofty tone and endless gabfest behind the scenes, it’s frankly risible that after 4 years in public release, there are still only a mere 16,000 articles. And of those, less than 1% have ever been been given the very editorial approval that remains the project’s sole reason for being.

1%. On that metric alone, the project is an abject failure. Still, they have just enough bucks to stagger on for the time being. Meanwhile, another internal gabfest looms, as they head towards yet another round of elections.
