This is Larry Sanger, one of the original founders of Wikipedia, but he disagreed with it very early and left to start a competing project, “Citizendium”, which went slowly and stagnated a few years back.

I'd prefer to say that it started with a bang (it really did) but slowed way down due to the unsupportable weight of trying to compete with the 800-pound-gorilla, Wikipedia. :-)

Larry came up with the idea for Wikipedia and was the community manager in Wikipedia's vulnerable early days.

Let's help him create a 2nd top ten website instead of being another HN troll criticizing bravely on the Internet.
