"No small group of elites deserves the power to declare what is known for all of us."
Larry Sanger

―Dr. Larry Sanger

Co-Founder of Wikipedia & President of the Knowledge Standards Foundation

Imagine all the encyclopedias in the world, connected into one decentralized network, the way all the blogs are loosely connected. You've heard of the blogosphere; now, we’re building an encyclosphere.

We are the Knowledge Standards Foundation, a global group of volunteers creating the standards and tools for the future encyclosphere. We’re making a network, not an app.
