Profile

Make the encyclosphere the universal network of encyclopedias. The encylosphere is a network of encyclopedias presently existing and future, large and small. Encyclopedia articles are to the encylosphere what blog posts are to the blogosphere. Bloggers work entirely independently of each other, but because they make their posts available in feeds, "blog readers" make it possible to aggregate all the blogs for the convenience of readers. It's the sharing economy at its finest. We want to do the same thing for encyclopedia articles. The encyclosphere is distributed and resistant to censorship.
