THE former deputy to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is vowing to launch a rival site soon that he says will be more transparent than the original.
Dubbed "Openleaks" (www.openleaks.org) and run by Assange's former number two at WikiLeaks, Daniel Domscheit-Berg, the site has no content on it at the moment apart from a logo and the message: "Coming soon!"
In an interview, Domscheit-Berg didn't go into the details of his dispute with WikiLeaks but said it had strayed from its mission.
"In these last months, the organization has not been open any more, it lost its open-source promise," he said, adding that Openleaks plans to provide the means for leaked information to be published, without being a publisher.
Assange, a 39-year-old Australian who founded WikiLeaks in 2006, is in policy custody in Britain after a European arrest warrant was issued by Sweden, where he is wanted for questioning over allegations of sexual crimes. He denies the allegations.
Domscheit-Berg, who was previously involved with the German hacker group the Chaos Computer Club, said Openleaks would begin trials in early 2011.
