Wikipedia is the future. I am deeply honoured to have been asked to give a
plenary lecture this summer at Wikimania which I shall title something like
"Wikipedia is the future of scientific information". OTT perhaps , but not
very. We shall soon start to extract data from the literature and the
natural place - if they'll have it - is Wiki*. Wikispecies, Wikipathways,
etc. And complemented in Mozilla and OKFN.
