[WikiEN-l] Ganfyd - an online medical encyclopedia

[Keith Old]

G'day folks

Nature has apparently published an article about Ganfyd which is an online
textbook of medicine only edited by doctors. I was alerted by a blog post by
the medical library of the University of Utah. It is also interesting that
wikipedias is used as a plural which may be an indication that wikipedia is
becoming a word for an online editable encyclopedia.

The post reads:

Read the following article about wikipedias, especially about a new medical
wikipedia, Gandfyd http://www.ganfyd.org/. Only registered medical
practitioners are allowed to edit Ganddyd. In it's "about us" section, it
states "Simply put this is an evolving textbook of medicine."

"WikiMedia" *NATURE MEDICINE *VOLUME 13 | NUMBER 3 | MARCH 2007
"Ganfyd, short for 'get a note from your doctor,' accepts contributions only
from people with medical credentials. More than 300 doctors have already
written some 3,000 articles for Ganfyd."

Regards to all.
