Scratchram Alpha (Wolfram Alpha)

I was thinking of when cloud lists come out, I could make a knowledge database full of information about things. There are a couple differences though: One being that the REAL Wolfram Alpha has a calculator with many uses. So I will add a beta calculator that has the ability to do normal calculations (with a couple special functions) and simple algebra and calculus ( Algebra Solver Beta and Derivative Solver Beta ). Another difference is good: Most of its data comes from the community. You can enter information about a subject and it will add it to a cloud list.

Please help me by giving me information and links to information!

Hmm, I might be able to help with things like derivatives/solving (not the simple ones though).

It might be possible to make a script which would help me give you links to every one of Wikipedia's 4,200,000 articles. In all seriousness, whats the point of this project? Also, see Hardmath's Logic circuit evaluator.

To show the complexity of scratch? Not exactly sure since scratch is too slow for me.

Well… I guess I should put it this way: I want to combine Wolfram alpha and Wikipedia on scratch. The quick knowledge resources from Wolfram alpha, and the quick summary on the top in Wikipedia. Also from Wikipedia, any scratcher can edit this (not delete info, but add it. Safety feature ). I also have always wanted to make something like Wolfram alpha. also I want a project that could actually be useful (hopefully!).

The script that retrieves files would have to be made in something like python right?

What programming language would you have to use?

A hypotenuse calculator? a2 + b2 = c2?
