> the only conclusion is that the system is flawed. There's a need for a fundamental change in approach There are attempts of creating more "professional" electronic encyclopedia like Citizendium [1] and Scholarpedia [2] but it seems that such tasks are rather hard since Wikipedia solidified its position already, despite flaws [1] - https://en.citizendium.org/ [2] - http://www.scholarpedia.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
Larry Sanger was more or less evicted from Wikipedia because his viewpoints and personality conflicted with virtually everyone else, which was, as it still is, made of a broad group of people across the globe. He was with Wikipedia for a year and has criticized the project since he left after his salary was cut. His follow up project, Citizendium is dead. Source: over 2 years ago
Sanger hasn't built anything that amounted to anything. He's been involved with a bunch of failed projects like Citizendium, most of which were based on the premise that Wikipedia is broken because 1) it allows anyone to contribute and 2) it's not conservative enough. History has proved him wrong. Source: almost 3 years ago

I'll slightly modify your argument; because Pure HTML does suck: Why don't people make static sites with a simple "Markdown-or-Similar to HTML" converter, CSS, and vanilla JS...etc? (This is what I do, btw -- http://zim-wiki.org + a template). - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

Https://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/ And I just tweaked the CSS and added a bit of logic to included the possibility of one image per slide; as well as editing slides not with raw HTML but with https://zim-wiki.org (because that's what I'm really used to, I'm sure any Markdown thing would work just as well). - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
Absolutely; recently I realize I wish I'd never learned vim. I use too many other programs that are at least CUA-ish ( http://zim-wiki.org is the most important app I use ) and now I kind of want out. I haven't yet tried Modeless Vim, but that looks like my next experiment. https://github.com/SebastianMuskalla/ModelessVim. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
