Richard Waters at Financial Times has a new blog post on Larry Sanger, who is the founder of Citizendium. According to Waters, Sanger is planning on leaving Citizendium (which is confirmed by Sanger in the comments) in favor of Watcknow.org, an educational video site. From the article:
So why is he leaving? He says he was always clear about his intention to move on in a relatively short period of time. That’s partly because Citizendium is a labour of love and doesn’t pay the bills, but he adds: “If this is truly going to be a constitutional republic online, you can’t have an editor for life.”
Thanks to Stephen Downes for the link.
Correction: He announced that he is stepping down as the Editor-in-Chief of Citizendium, not that he is leaving the project: http://blog.citizendium.org/?p=541 .
