Wikipedia for the zoology world?

I ran across this video about an Encyclopedia of Life, kind of an online open source opportunity for scientists around the country to catalog the various species of life around the world, and show us how we're all interlinked. It's a pretty grand and amazing undertaking they've proposed that should provide all kinds of opportunities to procrastinate and learn at the same time when it finally goes online sometime in 2008. They even have ideas of hikers having access to this information on PDA's as a highly interactive way of learning about wildlife as they encounter them.

Anywho, take a peek at the video. A sharper version is on the EOL website. It's pretty cool.
