Monday Morning Video: Encyclopedia of Life

If you haven’t heard about the Encyclopedia of Life project, it’s time to learn more about it. It’s sort of like what you might get if Wikipedia were being overseen by the folks at Britannica. They’re going to try to catalogue every species on earth, a daunting task to say the least. However, they intend to supplement the work of scientists and experts with the work of the community. The public will be able to contribute content, images, and video, and while it will likely be moderated by an expert, it does make the project much more sustainable in the long run.

Looks promising to me, but see for yourself!
