Knol, the Wikipedia Maybe-Fork? 102
Bennett Haselton contributes the following essay on the consequences of license choice as it applies to sites based on user contributions; read on below for more of his big idea for making Knol a more useful resource.
"Google Knol should allow its writers to publish under a
Creative Commons Share Alike license.
The preceding sentence may not mean much to you, but if you've ever wanted to cite a Wikipedia
article as a source, or simply read a Wikipedia article with some assurance that someone
wasn't pulling your leg with some
creative editing, or if you've wanted to contribute
to Wikipedia but couldn't afford the time unless you received some modest compensation for it,
then the addition of this one simple feature to Knol might make all the difference." (More below.)

I'd look up the URL for the news post I'm referencing, but your poor beloved archive is already slash-toast.
FYI /. readers, the Blue Spark Challenge was a made up race type mentioned ever so tantalizingly in regards to Mario Kart Double Dash.
BTW: You guys have the kind of satiric talent that would shine in any genre, and in the field of video game criticism its like staring at a goddamn supernova. I barely even play games anymore and I still check your posts daily. Thanks for your work.
