[Cz-biology] Gene articles, and new biologists arriving

[Larry Sanger]

See http://news.google.com/news?q=Citizendium

All the hits on Google News for us now (about 90 of them) are due to the
fact that we ultimately turned down Andrew Su in his long and well-intended
effort to get us to adopt pages about genes!  It's a pity!  But I think it
would have ultimately been a disappointment for Andrew to see the gene
articles uploaded here and then staying dormant for who knows how long.
Wikipedia does have a vigorous if imperfect system, and perhaps his articles
will be well served there.

Meanwhile, I'll be doing a great deal on Biology Week in the coming weeks.
This will involve, among other things, posting many announcements about CZ
on biology mailing lists and forums, etc.  I hope you'll join in with that.
As a result, we'll probably see a sizeable influx of biologists, and while
as usual many of them won't be active (it's a numbers game), a good few of
them very probably will be.  Especially if they have encouragement from the
old hands!
