A big thank you to everybody who contributed to the project so far, from the
constructive discussion to the technical support. I hope that the interest
in wikispecies will remain as high as it seems to be right now.
In order to allow an efficient communication between all those who are
interested in wikispecies, a mainling list was created. To register at this
mailing list, please go to:

I hope many of you register and want to become part of an evolving
wikispecies! Best,
What the hell is this? There was a lot of opposition to setting up a separate
project. Who the hell authorized this?
This is NOT the way to set up a new project.

Yes, you opposed it. The wikimedia board approved it; all votes were in
favour. There was discussion, the arguments were weighed. What is your
problem ?
Wikispecies is not a fork. It is not intended as a fork, it will prove
not to be a fork.. Encyclopedic information is in the Wikipedias,
Wikispecies will refer to the other projects as much as the other
projects may refer to Wikispecies.
Thanks,
