Suggestion: Needs "Civilopedia"

Hi,
One major suggestion that would help ME enjoy the game a lot more (especially as a newb): please add a functional equivalent to the "civilopedia"? I know you can go to JavaScout's web page to get all that, but it really needs to be accessable in-game. As a newbie, when I see the list of things I can research, I need to be able to see what exactly they do so I can make intelligent decisions about what to research and why.
Basicly, everything should just be hyper-text linked and/or right clickable to pull up the full information on it. For example, when setting up governors, you should be able to right click on each potential build item to refresh your memory on how expensive they are, what they do, etc.
Also, it would be a big help to have tabs on the planet list to include info on uninhabited/enemy planets instead of just your colonies. This would make it easier to decide which planets to colonize or invade or whatever without having to click all over the map to refresh your memory on what is where.
A slightly more differentiated fog of war color scheme would also be helpful. I sometimes find it difficult to see clearly the difference between explored space that is or is NOT currently in scanning range.
