I realise that there is still a misunderstanding what Wikispecies would look like. This is not about having articles which would be too special for Wikipedia. This is (at least how I understand it) about having a species directory containing raw data.
Sweet! That would be neat (based on your example and link). I still think this would be better under the Commons umbrella, but oh well.
Maybe its format is too restricted and the data is too similar for the commons. Commons would be simply a storage for linking from, while species is more like a database to transfer data from. It would mess up Commons I believe.
