Brilliant idea.
One of the great things that @ccess could do is to aggregate (directly or
through links) material that can be reused. Thus if I need a picture of a
mosquito biting something I can just go there and find it.

There is an obvious synergy with Wikimedia. One thing we can probably do is
extract images from feeds of Open scientific information (such as Open
access journals, government reports, etc.). We'll probably have to label
these manually (though I can see certain areas using image processing) and
then use faceted searching and browsing.

Until that happens,
