Electronic publication: What is the question?

[ricardo]

I have feeling that electronic publication only is good for entomological
news, gossips, proposals  etc. We can publish some catalogue or checklists ,
where are no any nomenclatural changes on internet...
but
The electronic publication could be very good and important if you can get
paper published in Journal and simultaneously on WWW. It will be big
achievement if descriptions of insects are available on WWW.
Could be magnificant if someone put descriptions of Tenebrionidae done by
Maurice Pic with pictures of his types on internet...
Some papers are hard to obtain and could be nice if there is chance to have
it on internet.

The problem is that maybe we do not ask properly... we do not formulate
correctly what we need to ask...
like
Similar question is language problem, everybody try to tell me that Chinese
language are most used language, but how many entomologist is in china per
head?  The Czech has over 4000 entomologist for population of 10 000 000...
do we have to publish in Czech language?
I suggest that question has to be : what is most used SECOND language on the
world. How many people using as the second language Chinese?

Keep care and be of good cheer.
