Dear wikitech-I readers,
I am trying to initiate an open, wiki-based species directory (those of you
who read wikimedia-I will know about that) at
www.wikispecies.org, which
should become a wikimedia project. There are already several wikipedia
authors who promised support for the project and detailed discussions are
going on in forums and by e-mail.
The current problem is that we need developers who set up the basic
structure for wikispecies, so that authors can start to supply contents. As
Jimbo Wales suggested, the initial structure would be basically identical
with the one of wikipedia.
I add a suggestion for the initial structure at the bottom of this e-mail.
If you think that you could help, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Every help will be appreciated. Best,
Benedikt

MAIN PAGE AND SUBPAGE STRUCTURE
Best viewed at:
www.fishbase.org (though for a rather professional user,
therefore a bit extensive). Main page would need to be a search page that
provides a determination key as well.
Search terms
A general division in standard search and advanced search with details
would be good.
NAME (common name, scientific names, synonyms, taxonomic number, etc.)
CLASSIFICATION KEY (classification, would be perfect if we could get a PDA
compatible one for field applications)
GLOSSARY
FAMILY (loads of detail search functions, see at fishbase)
DISTRIBUTION (loads of detail search functions see at fishbase: country)
ECOSYSTEM (loads of detail search functions, see at fishbase)
TOPIC (special topics and articles)
TOOLS (loads of detail search functions, see at fishbase; including a
reference/literature search)
BIODIVERSITY MAP (once again: see at fishbase)
MEDIA (maps, films, pictures, if available)
Subpage for species:
CLASSIFICATION (as tree diagram, looks like a path)
NAMES
MORPHOLOGY (incl. picture or illustration)
BEHAVIOUR
RESILIANCE / REPRODUCTION
HABITAT / ENVIRONMENT
MEDIA (images, maps, diagrams, videos, etc.)
CLIMATE
ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE
DISTRIBUTION (geographically and in terms of countries)
CONSERVATION STATUS
DANGERS
