Joomla Challenge for Google Knols

Google launched their Knol site last week. Despite the slightly silly name and Google's failure to get Knol.com from a Joomla site, I though it would worthwhile to take some time and write a couple:

Joomla - a general introduction to Joomla
Joomla SEO - a rewrite of my general guide to Joomla SEO

Whats the Challenge?

I'd love to see a really, really great Knol on both these topics so I've got a challenge for you ...

I've given both articles an "Open collaboration model" which means that all signed in users can edit the Knol. I'll give a free lifetime SEO Club membership to two people ... whoever makes the most useful edits on each article. Knols have a "Revisions" section so it should be easy to check whose written what. If you're not up for writing, feel free to drop a comment on the Knol as to how the articles can be improved.

@Steve: You must have read the post from Aaron Wall :-)
I have had a go at producing a Knol as well, but I also wanted to test the PDF Import to fill the content.
So I imported my The Little Joomla SEO Book into http://knol.google.com/k/humme...y7rbv1s/3#

Now comes the wait to see if in the next few days it will show up in Google, because that is what I am also testing...
There is still a lot to learn on Knol, can't say it is very clean in usability.

Hey Hummerbie!

Cool - I've added your Knol to the pages I'm tracking. Its fascinating to see how pages hosted by Google will compete with rival pages, especially if the content is nearly indentical.
