“content improves with more people involved. There are now 10.000 very active
editors. Many eyes checking and editing loads of information. System mistakes are fixed by
the community. So, we want university, research centers, professionals and
specialists from different areas to become part of the community, sharing their
experience. This will automaticly improve the quality”.
