The
Encyclopedia of Life
[nofollow]
was launched yesterday
What do people think of it? It's only in its infancy and I'm not quite sure who submits to it, although it's
supposed
to be definitive, unlike wiki. Do people like the format? The goal is to have a web page for every species that has been described. It's a big task but it also has a good lot of funding behind it ($50mn). It has similar objectives to the already present
Tree of life web project
[nofollow]
but as is explained on the
Tree of Life
website, there are certain differences. Do people think that the
Encyclopedia of Life
is any better? Worthwhile?
To me, the EoL
sounds
fantastic in that it claims to be a definitive source which everyone can access and I also think it looks cool. But whether it will be implemented that way remains to be seen.

Btw, don't be surprised if the Eol site is down today. As I already said, it was launched yesterday and likely to have overloaded.
