[Taxacom] TDWG Biodiversity informatics databases

[Hilmar Lapp]

Has anyone considered the possibility of setting this up as a  
syndicated feed from Delicious or some other social bookmarking  
platform, using a dedicated and recognizable tag. It'd very easy for  
anyone in the world to add to that list.

/me thinks the times of tedious-to-maintain static bookmark lists  
ought to be numbered. Maybe even more so for a standards & informatics  
organization :)
