We are an encyclopedia project, and more.

We are a different sort of Web 2.0 project:

  • We aim at credibility and quality, not just quantity.
  • Both the general public and credentialed experts are encouraged to get involved.
  • We use our real names, not pseudonyms.
  • We're collegial.

We have added over 3,200 articles (and many subpages) since November 2006.

Join us!

  • New authors and editors welcome!
  • A human being will respond usually within a few hours.
