Wicked Cool
Right now, the online Encyclopedia of Life is more skeleton than full-bodied specimen, but the plan for now is to expand it to 1.8 million full pages over the next 10 years. (Right now, only 25 pages have all planned features. Check out the creators' plans.) And, much to the consternation of the acolytes of the Church of the Market, it is free, as in covered by one of the Creative Commons licenses.
