Peter,
As far as I have been able to tell, it is not a Wiki. It appears to be
more based on peer reviewed data, not on info that any man and his dog
can post, edit and hack around as in Wikipedia. Though having said
that, there are the usual number of dorks in the forum posting
garbage, such as their homepage being a discount cigarette site.
Hopefully they will disappear when the novelty wears off. I think the
forums will need moderation.
Cheers,.
Carl Clifford

Is this a Wiki? How is it different to all the stuff already entered
into Wikipedia? I'm not complaining that there'll be another,
possibly
much better, resource to look at, but why do people keep reinventing
these things?

Dear All,
An exciting project has just been launched on the internet, The
Encyclopedia of Life. The aim of the project is to have a web page
for every species on Earth (or at least those as have been described)
The web site can be found at www.eol.org
They are having a few problems at the moment with the projects
servers keeping up with demand, but give it a few days and full
access will be available. Demonstration pages are accessible though,
so one can get an idea of what to expect. The demo pages look quite
impressive.
