Wikis everywhere

The last two weeks have been filled with wiki information! First, I was looking through the Chronicle of Higher Education newspaper in the B51-124 (where the mailboxes are) from September 5, 2008: Medical Wiki backed by prominent colleges will go live by Year's End. Called Medpedia (www.medpedia.com), there will be a medical wikipedia with contributors of M.D. or Ph.D. in biomedical fields; however, anyone can suggest changes. As quoted from the webpage, "Medpedia is just getting started and is a long term project. Today, you are not likely to find an Article page for the topic you are looking for. Below is a current list of all the Articles in the knowledge base, which is always evolving and never complete. Medpedia’s mission is to create a new model for how the world will assemble, maintain, critique and access medical knowledge. This repository of up-to-date, unbiased medical information will be freely available to everyone, and you can add to it." This can eliminate the problems with the mainstream Wikipedia, where anyone can edit and create pages. They said the goal of the page is to have a resource of more than 30,000 known medical conditions as well as thousands of drugs that come out each year. In each page, it will have a layman's term for the condition as well as the technical term for other medical professionals to reference.
By having a long-term approach to this medical dictionary accessible to everyone, everyday people can research and find prescriptions (such as Advil) to see the dangers of prescriptions their doctor suggest.
