“ 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”.
