Came across this new Google product called Knol (http://knol.google.com/k#).
It's a Wikipedia-like product, except the articles are written by subject experts or groups of experts (contributors establish their credentials). It's limited in scope at present, but has real potential to grow into a good reference resource. Let the group know what you think.

This may be a future consideration. Let's see how it grows and in which direction. I couldn't find how one establishes credentials even though it lists that as an article described under Writing Knols (ugh what a bad name).
I skimmed 3 articles and found at least one spelling or sentence structure error in each.
I second Ian's concern with how one establishes credentials.
I'd consider this on par with Wikipedia, which is to say, "useful as long as you're going to verify everything elsewhere and don't plan on citing it."
