One of the projects I'm currently working on is an annotated bibliography for a large-scale project by OUP. The aim of the project, called Oxford Bibliographies Online, is to provide "a starting point for scholarly research" and to be "a selective guide to the best and most useful sources" on a particular topic. Though I don't know the full range of the project, I think it's going to be a major research tool when it comes out. While it won't be limited to philosophy, with respect to philosophy it may be as valuable a tool as the SEP.
Here is an early draft of the entry I'm working on for free will. Any and all feedback would be appreciate--including ways to better organize, material that should be added, etc.... (The poll I posted about two weeks ago helped me think about setting up some of the middle sections.) I'm contemplating adding a section on important texts from the history of philosophy--e.g., Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, Augustine's On Free Choice of the Will, Hume's A Treatise of Human Nature, etc.... One reason I haven't done that yet is that I'm supposed to have eight or fewer entries per section, and I'm not sure which ones I'd include.
Anyway, suggestions for improvement would be greatly appreciated.
