Everipedia Names Wikipedia Co-Founder To Exec Team

Los Angeles-based Everipedia, an online, open source wiki network which is basing its system on Blockchain, said this week that it has named Dr. Larry Sanger as the company's new Chief Information Officer. Sanger was one of the co-founders of Wikipedia. According to Everipedia, Sanger coined the name "Wikipedia" and formulated much of the site's original policies. Evripedia said it is building a new, open source wiki network that decentralizes the knowledge base by allowing every editor to become a stakeholder in the network. Everipedia said it is creating an incentive structure and a distributed backend which uses blockchain to reward users who curate articles on the service.
