Open-source effort

The following site offers access to a project on economics, that basically lists most major works on economics available at present. Economists seam to lead the pack in adopting the newest technology and applying the open-source mentality to their work. It's not just Wikipedia that provides readily available information, it's also more complicated matter of economics on offer. The beauty of the project is that you can find just about anything of the work produced by World Bank's staff to books on economics, provided you have the brains to understand what it all says. The second aspect is that it gives an example to all other disciplines (like law or medicine?) of collaborating in an open-source fashion online and networking and communicating on a high level.
