Remember Mathematica? Well, the company that makes it (Wolfram) also produces “Publicon” (”technical publishing made easy”, doncha know).
Of what interest? Well, this: Wolfram has an encyclopedist … no kidding … the man draws a salary for that. His name is Eric Weisstein. And he runs Eric Weisstein’s World of Mathematics and Eric Weisstein’s World of Science. And I think those two sites are pretty neat. So I think he’s pretty neat, too.

Now … who wants to engage in rolling out a system that would allow such as Eric to produce sites that are even more useful?

Addendum: Eric forgot to list his “Treasure Troves of Science“! [plural, note] For hours of geekish fun, visit his Animated GIF Movies.
