Comprehensive, collaborative, ever-growing, and personalized, the Encyclopedia of Life is an ecosystem of websites that makes all key information about life on Earth accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world. Our goal is to create a constantly evolving encyclopedia that lives on the Internet, with contributions from scientists and amateurs alike. To transform the science of biology, and inspire a new generation of scientists, by aggregating all known data about every living species. And ultimately, to increase our collective understanding of life on Earth, and safeguard the richest possible spectrum of biodiversity.(leer más…)

The Citizendium (sit-ih-ZEN-dee-um), a «citizens’ compendium of everything,» is an experimental new wiki project. The project, started by a founder of Wikipedia, aims to improve on that model by adding «gentle expert oversight» and requiring contributors to use their real names.

As of March 25, 2007, we were working on over 1,100 articles.

One of our projects these days is The Big Cleanup. It’s a good way to get acquainted with our work and help out.
