Hi,
in case you havn't read my initial e-mail: I am currently trying to
establish a wiki-based, open species directory at
www.wikispecies.org/,
which is meant to become a wikimedia project.
I got some support for contents by a range of wikipedia writers, but what I
really need now are developers who set up a basic structure so that we can
get started. Jimbo Wales suggested that the inital wikispecies would be
basically the same as the one of wikipedia.
I evaluated some species data bases and based on that I worked out a basic
structure: a main page with search functions and sub-pages for an individual
species/genus/family and so on, whith different features that can be
searched for (for details see bottom of this e-mail).
If you think you can help, please let me know - every support is much
appreciated! Thanks,
Benedikt
Information on species needs to be kept in the encyclopedia. Work with
WikiProject Tree of Life. All the info you want to index could easily be
contained in a table at the bottom of our current species articles and/or
though the use of categories.
