Hi All
You maybe interested in checking out this new encyclopedia, which is a similar concept to Wikipedia and covers science related topics. It is very much in its infancy and needs to be further populated, so a chance for some experts in the field to become involved. It is called Scholarpedia:
http://scholarpedia.org/
From the introduction-
Scholarpedia, the free peer reviewed encyclopedia written by scholars from all around the world.
Scholarpedia feels and looks like Wikipedia - the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Indeed, both are powered by the same program - MediaWiki. Both allow visitors to review and modify articles simply by clicking on the edit this article link.
However, Scholarpedia differs from Wikipedia in some very important ways:
Each article is written by an expert (invited or elected by the public).
Each article is anonymously peer reviewed to ensure accurate and reliable information.
Each article has a curator - typically its author -- who is responsible for its content.
Any modification of the article needs to be approved by the curator before it appears in the final, approved version
