The Jewish Encyclopedia has just gone on-line... for free. The Encyclopedia is outdated, having been published between 1901-1906. However, they say:
We are considering inviting the Internet community to help us update the encyclopedia -- if you are interested in volunteering (as a writer, editor, etc.) please join our Mailing List.
Could this be the beginning of a Jewish Wikipedia?

unfortunately unlikely since the original 'jewish' encyclopedia, was so heavily slanted against traditional jewish beliefs that for a modern day reader it almost seemed like the underlying dogma was blind faith in the falshehood of any jewish tradition.
it would require a very great effort by a very large number of people to make it resemble the open-nes and neutrality of the original wiki
but if it does it would be wonderfull.
