Google's encyclopedia (in private beta with the code name "knol") has just been announced at the official Google blog: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2007/12/encouraging-people-to-contribute.html

The GPedia (source: Techcrunch and Digitalpoint), as some observers are already calling the new offering, will differ from Wikipedia by identifying who wrote each article and striving to reward the authors by giving them a chance to make money from Google's advertising network. Googlepedia is an invitation-only (for now...) knowledge sharing service. What are your thoughts???

Google failed on many projects they tried to copy, so they might fail on this one as well.

the least they can do is give credit to the writer?
