I wasn't aware of Google's KNOL (they seem to have shot themselves in the foot with that one), so imagine that is the case with most other people too, so unlikely to come with negative baggage if used. Yeah I quite like it. Though perhaps the "KN" for N-sound might confuse non-English speakers? However, I like the "look" of the word KNOL though.
