I love the Citizendium project!  Working in Computers though, I feel we are really wanting for active authors and editors these days.  I've been in CZ for 3 years now, almost from the very inception, working sometimes a lot, sometimes a little.  I just want to see it somehow keep going and will do my best, within my limited means, to promote thatWill serve if called, if neededThough I'm happy also just to remain an editor and putter here from time to time.
I've been in CZ almost from the very inception, working sometimes a lot, sometimes a little.  From CZ's fledgling difficulties, I perceive how much more difficult it must be to set up a new governing structure in, say, Egypt.  I could serve through the end of summer 2011, but autumn will be very busy for me work-wise (teaching again at night), so my only hesitation in serving, if needed, is whether I can devote the time that might be required.
 
If I have a platform, it would be to amend the rules to reduce, remove, and avoide personal attacks, no matter the source of them, and also to continue seeking a way to resolve disputes.   
 
Philosophically, I am somewhat indifferent to the push by some to "approve" articles.  I can see the merit of making a push to get an article to a high level, but in my opinion, it can nearly always still be improved, so why "lock" it?  So as an editor, I have not put my energies there.
