Scholarpedia http://www.scholarpedia.org is similar to Wikipedia.

It is currently mainly about neuroscience, dynamical systems and chaos theory, editor-in-chief is Eugene M. Izhikevich. Although many articles which are not yet completed or unfinished, it has already some interesting articles about Attractors, ABM, Bubbling Transition and Hyperchaos. They are written by Chaos Theory experts as Peter Ashwin, Otto E. R?ssler, and Edward Ott..

Urgs, at least two slips of the pen in one post. Sorry. Larry Sanger's new CITIZENDIUM (a compendium of knowledge similar to Wikipedia - short for "the citizen's compendium") at http://citizendium.org/ seems to go in a similar direction. A Slashdot discussion can be found here http://slashdot.org/articles/06/09/16/1421226.shtml -J. |

for whatever my opinion is worth, 'sounds' great, but what about 'the
ruts' that scholarly thinking is so very famous for? The more democratic media, like Wikipedia, aren't even that successful in eliminating those diversions seems to me. Wouldn't 'Scholarpedia' just move us backwards in exposing and validating independent points of view?

More important than the author's name and academic stature, is that the
essential element of a scholarally posting is references and citations to support the posting so that a reader if so desired can judge for herself the verification and validation of the information provided. Perhaps a posting should have an "ontological" network of references/citations to cited information in addition to the standard *pedia links.

Scholarpedia seems like a good idea but IMHO is let down by it's complete
lack of content. I clicked on a dozen links in the three encyclopedias they are hosting (the encyclopedia of dynamical systems sounded fun) and all I got was canned messages saying "This article has been reserved by Prof. Such-and-Such" or "This article will be written by the end of August 2006" (huh?) Doesn't seem the most promising start....

Yes, it is nearly empty ;-) but you must admit that some of the articles which do exist seem to be interesting. Did you notice the huge diversity of placeholder sentences ? This article will be written in.. To be written by the end of.. To be written shortly by.. To be written in.. To be completed..... This will be finished in.. This article will be written after.. This article will be written by the end of summer.. Will be written in 2006.. Under construction. This article is in progress. This article will be written soon. To be written shortly.. will be written shortly.
