p.s. No one waste your time trying to contradict me and change my mind because I will never believe otherwise.
Kudos.
Right from this demo you can see that it'll have a graphical representation of the phylogenetic tree, which you can navigate - and geographical maps of locations of populations of the species. No primarily text-based resource can match the convenience and clarity of such visually navigatable resource; it makes the phylogeny of life tangible for any viewer of the site. So I see this as having the potential to stand head and shoulders above Wikipedia in it's field.
