Anyone here registered at Citizendium (http://en.citizendium.org/)? Among other things, it needs an Arimaa article.

Thank you, this seems like an excellent initiative and my registration is currently awaiting approval. I especially like the 'real name' clause. I tend to get those nicks tangled up. ;)

The other key difference from Wikipedia is their approval process for articles. Any registered user can edit a draft, but it remains a draft until experts in the field approve it. I would think you would qualify as an expert in abstract gaming.
