Vorts,
My apologies if this isn't new to everyone, but just stumbled across
Wikipedia.  It's an open source encyclopedia project.  Anyone and everyone
is invited to contribute and edit sections.  It's an honor system that
relies on volunteer subject matter champions to maintain sections they are
most interested in.  There is a nice article about it in the current issue
of Wired magazine (March 2005).  Since we have our fair share of 'experts'
on this list, this might be something many here might want to actively
participate in.  Interestingly enough, there seems to be no restrictions on
what you can contribute.  You can publish a whole category if you want.

This is what they have for "Cold Fusion":

This is important. This encyclopedia now has 500,000 articles, compared to
Britannica's 80,000. See:

I should make some corrections & additions to their article about cold
fusion. Ed Storms should probably review it, too. It is here:
