Encyclopedia of Life

The Encyclopedia of Life was brought online last week after several years of development. It looks like the site is still far from complete (if such a thing could ever be considered "complete"). Basically, it aims to be an online encyclopedia of all organisms on earth, with detailed information on physical characteristics, habitat, behavior, and taxonomy, as well as plenty of pictures. In the future, users will be able to contribute information in a Wikipedia-like system, but that's not set up yet. It will be interesting to watch this thing develop.
