Hi Messedrocker,
Your proposal is certainly interesting. My only question is what would 
the project provide that could not be achieved by say a portal on Wikipedia?
I am guessing that it is madatory that the information comes from 
verifiable sources in the scientific community and not just some Joe 
down the street who wants to give the recipe for his grandma's 
concoction to cure the flu to the world for free.
Cheers,
