I have NO opinion on the matter, but PURELY as a ''suggestion'': If Wikispecies was implemented as a portal, after the example of the German Wikipedia (eg. cf. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal_Medizin) -- with all the individual articles inside the WP, maybe named [[Species:Whatever]] -- would that be a compromise that people might be more happy to accept?
This project is about indexing 1 or 2 million species - in addition Wikispecies was intended to be a language-independent project, so in which Wikipedia would you want to have it? And who would want to have 2 Million database entries scattered over Wikipedia?
However, I start to think that this Wikispecies project is not worth the trouble. If people feel that they must leave Wikipedia just because this project is started then I tend to say forget it.
