Knol, Google's Version of Wikipedia, Goes Public

"With Knol, we are introducing a new method for authors to work together that we call 'moderated collaboration,'" Cedric Dupont, a Google product manager, and Michael McNally, a Google software engineer, wrote in a blog post. "With this feature, any reader can make suggested edits to a knol which the author may then choose to accept, reject, or modify before these contributions become visible to the public."
