CZ:Home

Welcome!

This is the home page of the Citizendium project. It's a central launch point for all the pages about the project. From here, you can get started, get technical help, read about content policy, explore our articles and organization, and much more.

We're deeply committed to making a reliable, free, and enormous general reference. We've shown to our delight that we can create a more mature wiki community, open to the public, led by experts, with all using their own identities; we're in it for the long haul.

Won't you join in?
