Hey Martjin,
The data for the Taxobox can be obtained from Wikipedia, itself, can't it? Imagine, we had a to generate the template for the animal "Elephant".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephant. We could write a python script which would be able to generate the data and store it in the Taxonomy template. And, we can choose it to generate equivalently in the display template.
We can generate the taxobox using the Lua Template or we can derive our own template which would make it more user friendly.
Regards, Ashwin

Hey Ashwin,
Where are you getting the data for the taxobox? Does it need human supervision? If not, depending on how heavy this is, this could be a very cool Lua Template, where it can be used to generate it dynamically.

Hey,
I am very much interested in the idea of a Taxobox. I have an interesting method of generating it using a basic Python script. It would gather all the data using the basic Python application and would be able to store it in the taxonomy templates and we can display according with respect to
the
display templates.
I will look into the merits and de - merits of the Generation of
Automatic
Taxobox and you will be receiving my proposal in the following week.
I just need to know whether I am on the right track here?
Regards, Ashwin
