This is a cool new website worth checking out - Maximapedia   It's a new online encyclopedia "based on old encyclopedias", which means that the content is based on old public domain sources such as 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica.   It's a labour of love but in this case I think the end results were worth it... Maximpedia seems to have a smooth 'flow' and a touch of something sophisticated to it.  You can see that the site is still 'freshly minted'.. many of the articles do not 'interlink' yet and there are signs that the articles were scanned from old books (i.e. typos). But I think it's got some real potential.
