scholarpedia website

www.scholarpedia.org
While remaining aware of the limitations of wikipedia and liking the idea of a free, open-access encyclopedia by scholars, I don't think scholarpedia is going to make it. The whole point of the wiki encyclopedia project is to harness the distributed knowledge and productivity of millions of web users around the world. There aren't enough scholars, even if they could agree.

As an experiment, I looked up INR, PT, and prothrombin on scholarpedia and found zero entries. The ones at wikipedia are quite nice...
