Welcome to the New World Encyclopedia
Started May 1, 2005
The current projected launch date for the New World Encyclopedia is January 1, 2008. The New World Encyclopedia is designed to organize human knowledge so that the reader will learn information, not just for its own sake, but for its value to the world as a whole. The underlying goal of the encyclopedia is to promote knowledge that leads to human happiness, well-being, and world peace.
Today, computer and internet encyclopedias have largely replaced print encyclopedias. The most popular online encyclopedia, Wikipedia has stunned the world; and as a leading force in the open source revolution has shaken assumptions regarding knowledge and scholarship to their very roots. Some have challenged its reliability because of its policy to let anyone contribute to it, but it has stood up remarkably to tests and comparisons to conventional sources such as the Encyclopedia Britannica.
New World Encyclopedia is a wiki-based encyclopedia which contains carefully selected articles that were rewritten and supervised by a team of editors with academic and literary qualifications. New World Encyclopedia will have the same ease of use as Wikipedia, but will differ based on an editorial policy that includes a more rigorous article selection process, editorial review process, and its wholesome values orientation.
You are viewing a prototype of the future website. This site contains a sample of articles already completed, information on the project vision, background and structure, and importantly how you can apply to become a part of it.
