Quick notes:

The design is a turn-off.

The demo editor does not work. I gave my page a name, but none of the link or text buttons work.

Posting a review request at noon on Sunday limits your exposure.

I don't quite get the value prop here -- even if making a page is "easy", it's not easier than writing something on my own blog.

I can't open my own subjects without asking you? What if I don't care about the dozen languages listed?

Server went down at this point. Sorry, man. This is a nice idea but you'll need to give users more power and more reason to use it. Maybe importing links from delicious or similar.

What browser are you using that the editor stopped working? You can do any subject you want, in fact I may even add it to the list. I added the box on the left to give the site some initial focus.
I tried both FF3 and Safari3 on Mac.

Ah, I see -- I misunderstood the "let me know". I got the impression that new subjects had to go through you.

My other comments stand, though. You need an info/UI designer to go over the site, and you need to improve the value prop to contributors. There are lots of sites in similar areas -- three that come to mind are squidoo, mahalo, and twine.
