How could a free (i.e. free content) alternative for MathSciNet and Zentralblatt be created?
Comments
What can be done (based on answers below)
One thing that can be really useful and doable is to create (and maintain) a database of articles (and maybe abstracts), where you can find all the article articles that were reffering referring to a given one. Once it is done we can add lists of errors --- it will add something new and valuable for the project (but this will take a while). The above two things might be already enough for practical purpose. It will be even better if it will attract enough reviewers to the project.

Some mathematicians have stopped writing reviews for MathSciNet because they feel their output should be freely available. This question is related; see also r-forum, nLab and wikademic.

Some mathematicians have stopped writing reviews for MathSciNet because they feel their output should be freely available. It is likely a lot of work, but legally and technologically possible, to reproduce much of the metadata information held by MathSciNet. One can imagine establishing an alternative website for mathematical reviews (perhaps even running wiki software), which could conceivably with a sufficiently active community come to supplant MathSciNet. This question is related; see also r-forum, nLab and wikademic.
