I'm all for it - sounds pretty cool. Could there possibly be redirects from the Wikipedia to the Wikispecies, or vice versa? Then Wikispecies could hold all the species info, and free up wikipedia space for other stuff (don't know what, but it could). Would it be like current wikis as in en.wikispecies.org, de.wikispecies.org, ang.wikispecies.org?
If you put up an Anglo-Saxon wikispecies, I'll give you a lot of info!

I think that a multi-lingual approach would serve best for the wikipedia - idea and it would be useful as the species directory would target for any user and not exclusivly for scientists.
Re-directs would be good, as I e-mailed Jimbo before and would want the Wikispecies to be a proper wikimedia project. The next step would be to set up a website with the inital tools on a wikimedia server.
I have no clue about how at all, but Magnus' suggestions sound very sensible to me. I got www.wikispecies.org and can re-direct the URL at any time the demo-system is set up.
Who could do that or knows how?
Thanks,
