Have you looked on the left under the logo? It says "search scholarpedia". Bit of a giveaway, that.
Does it have other languages too?
I don't know why I haven't found this site earlier. It's like Wikipedia but all the entries are written by experts and it's peer-reviewed. I've had a quick look at it seems like a very good resource.http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Main_Page
a) experts aren't necessarily that good at explaining stuff to mere mortals (they're too good- everything for them is too obvious)
b) they have few contributors because there's lots of hoops to jump through, and true experts usually have better things to do
c) the wikipedia is based on experts anyway, it's just based on stuff they wrote down and got through peer review
d) some subjects like homeopathy, the credentialled 'experts' are very biased.
e) at the end of the day, experts are just people, giving them an unreviewed publishing medium isn't necessarily as good idea as it sounds
) the wikipedia scales much better; the wikipedia gains about a thousand new articles per day, most of the other pedias only have a few thousand articles tops.
