I totally disagree; I am sure that a lot of information will be overlapping
and therefore, the two projects should remain connected. Nevertheless, a
species directory would serve a different purpose than the wikipedia as such
and have a significantly different structure (as seen in the draft at my
last e-mail) to allow highly specific search functions.
I already got a lot of supportive e-mails by a range of people - and that is
eventually what counts for a wiki project, to my understanding. There is a
need for an extensive species directory, and I will keep asking for support!

the Wikipedia to the Wikispecies, or vice versa?
Then Wikispecies could
hold all the species info, and free up wikipedia space for other stuff
(don't know what, but it could). Would it be like current wikis as in
en.wikispecies.org,
de.wikispecies.org, ang.wikispecies.org?
Absolutely not! Wikipedia is the place to have articles on species - not a
separate project.
