During our discussion we evolved the concept quite a bit (special
templates,
categories, messages on talk page etc).
Could you elaborate on this "evolution of the concept"? I'm not able
to see what's new, from the "titles" in parentheses.

This bot puts a template in all generated articles clearly stating it is
botgenerated and text stating "/This article has been created by Lsjbot
and can have language errors and/or a mildly confusing setup of
illustrations. This template can be deleted after checks of content has
been done/" For the botgenerated articles for birds more then half have
afterward been manually reviewed. This was our major concern, that
botgenerated articles must not by a reader be given the impression they
are manually created.
Example
http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acanthochitona_arragonites
The bot does a major effort translating English text, like the
geographical name of the area of inhabitance for the specie. In the
balance of making these translation table too big, and to skip
translation when complicated, the bot now puts the complicated text on
the talkpage. In the example above it is for Gulf of California. In this
way the reader or the one doing the manual afterfix find the info and
can make use of it.
The set of categories that all bot generated articles will have, even if
and after it is manually checked/corrected, is partly for general
keeping track but also to be able to initiate automatic
check/corrections of a special set of botgenerated articles, if a
problem/error is found some time after the generating time.
Also there are processes set up for the inspectors of the articles in
order to easy report any questions, and get feedback it is been taken
care of. If a backlog occurs of reported problems, the bot generation
stops, until all is fixed (very few thing being reported by this stage).
On sv:wp there are around 6-8 frequest contributers in the zoological
area with 10-15 more infrequent contributers. These are very competent
and are all supporting this effort with inspecting etc. Without the
support of these the project would never have got off the ground

re the question re Xeon-cant, thanks I will forward this to Lsj. A link
to Wikipecies for corresponding articles already included (of course)
