Knol is not wikipedia-like: it's not a wiki.

Knol is more like About.com (http://www.about.com/; alexa 67 (data@july 2011) or http://www.ehow.com/ (alexa 127 (data@july 2011)) than Wikipedia.
It 's also not an equivalent of http://www.archive.org/index.php (alexa 206 (data@july 2011)) which corresponds to the classic encyclopedia format (see also other internet archive projetcs: http://www.archive.org/projects/).
Knol has an anarchy model:

A brief analysis of the knol rich text editor:

The menu is still at the same place 

it is very useful if your post is very long (not the case for blogger)

The menu of the knol editor:

Save (first item (left))

Format (5^nd item): far better 

(H2, H3 and H4 levels) system is very useful with the automatic outline function of knol.

Links  (11^nd item)

the same function/design of blogger

Insert (12nd item): GOOD

1. image (blogger is better with an upload of many files)
   the management of the position of the image is the same
2. Equation (i hope this service will be in blogger)
3. Special character  (i hope this service will be in blogger)
4. Calendar  " " (insert google calendar with many options)
5. documents (you can select google docs, spreadsheet..., map, calendar, folders)
6. picasa web slideshow
7. presentation
8. spreadsheet
9. spreadsheet form
10. (google video: old!)
11. You tube
12. Google gadget (by URL or list of categories)
