You can find the previous discussions in the 2nd archive (see box to upper right). In the meantime, what this wiki has become is described briefly at CZ:Introduction_to_CZ_for_Wikipedians#Why Citizendium?, which is linked also on the landing page.Pat Palmer (talk) 20:25, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
Citizendium ownership change
Hi all,
A few different people have reached out to me recently about future directions with Citizendium. I appreciate that.
As you know, Citizendium stopped being "my" project a long time ago. But until this morning, I still owned the domain name.
This morning, I transferred ownership of all the Citizendium domain names to Pat Palmer, whom I know and trust and have worked with since the early days of Citizendium. She is not just a former computer science professor at Penn and a highly-sought-after computer consultant, she understands what has worked—and what hasn't worked—both with Wikipedia and the experiment that has been Citizendium. She knows all the old Citizendium folks well. She has a diplomatic and highly intelligent head on her shoulders. Maybe most importantly, she is highly motivated not to let CZ die. And from what I heard, she has sound, practical ideas about how to reinvigorate this project. If I can help that happen by getting out of the way, then I'm happy to do that.
We're not ready to make any big public announcements about this, but I wanted you on this group to know about this change of ownership. Pat will be the new legal owner of Citizendium as soon as the transfer is complete, and she has my support as this project's leader, as we make some important improvements.

- I have copied Larry's statement (above) from it's original location at Forum_Talk:Technical_Issues because it seems really to belong here, in Governance. But he made it there, at the time, because that's where the discussion about possibly shutting down was going on at the time.Pat Palmer (talk) 20:31, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
