[Taxacom] SpiralFrog

[Roderic Page]

Given the perennial problem of how to fund taxonomic research and  
publication, I found this posting on the Ingenta team's blog  
(http://allmyeye.blogspot.com/2006/08/spiralfrog-running-rings- 
around.html) to be interesting. I wonder whether the taxonomic  
community needs to be more imaginative in thinking about funding, and  
what we can learn from other examples in industry (e.g., Google, the  
music business, etc.).

Regards

Rod
