Scholarpedia seems like a good idea but IMHO is let down by it's complete lack of content. I clicked on a dozen links in the three encyclopedias they are hosting (the encyclopedia of dynamical systems sounded fun) and all I got was canned messages saying "This article has been reserved by Prof. Such-and-Such" or "This article will be written by the end of August 2006" (huh?)

Doesn't seem the most promising start....

More important than the author's name and academic stature, is that the
essential element of a scholarally posting is references and citations to
support the posting so that a reader if so desired can judge for herself the
verification and validation of the information provided.

Perhaps a posting should have an "ontological" network of
references/citations to cited information in addition to the standard *pedia
links.

Subject: [FRIAM] A 9D model for a chaos-hyperchaos transition



Scholarpedia http://www.scholarpedia.org is similar
to Wikipedia. The difference is that each article
is written by an expert (invited or elected),
each article is anonymously peer reviewed, and
each article has a curator or editor. We had
similar ideas for our own DCS-Wiki at
http://www.vs.uni-kassel.de/systems

What do you think of the idea Scholarpedia idea? It
is currently mainly about neuroscience, dynamical systems
and chaos theory, editor-in-chief is Eugene M. Izhikevich.
Although many articles which are not yet completed or
unfinished, it has already some interesting articles
about Attractors, ABM, Bubbling Transition and Hyperchaos.
They are written by Chaos Theory experts as Peter Ashwin,
Otto E. Rössler, and Edward Ott.. The page about Hyperchaos
contains a 9D model for a chaos-hyperchaos transition..
