Although the comments expressed in Gideon Haigh's cover story article in
The Monthly (Issue 9, February 2006) may not directly apply to taxonomic
issues, a read of this article is suggested before 'persuading Google to
partner with' any community or organisation, as Brian Fisher via Robin
Leech is proposing.
