It seems that Charles Francois' International Encyclopedia of Systems and Cybernetics not only has recently been published in a greatly expanded second edition (http://benking.de/systems/encyclopedia/), but will also form the basis of a free online encyclopedia (using the WiKi platform): http://esco.uni-klu.ac.at/, edited by Guenther Ossimitz.
This would realize one of the aims of the Principia Cybernetica Project, namely to expand our online Web Dictionary of Systems and Cybernetics (http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/ASC/) into a true encyclopedia. I wish them the best of luck, and many expert volunteers to write and edit the many online articles that will be needed!
