One neat feature is the ability to skin the site. They recently had a contest, and you can view the winners here. I prefer Retro-Active.

From Ruminate.com:

A Lord of the Rings encyclopedia
Everything you’ve ever needed/wanted to know about the Lord of the Rings or other works by J. R. R. Tolkien can probably be found at The Encyclopedia of Arda. A very well done, detailed site.
