[Taxacom] New Google Group for discussions re: Taxonomic Literature

[Chris Freeland]

All,

This list has seen several different streams of discussions lately
concerning services, UIs, data structures and other issues surrounding
digital taxonomic literature, to the point where a core group of us who
are frequent posters on the topic had about 4 different lines of
discussions going at once.  Too confusing.  So, I've set up a Google
Group called [TaxonLit] so that we can have a single list specific to
the topic.  It's available at: http://groups.google.com/group/taxonlit

The discussions & pages can be read by the public, but participation in
the listserv & the ability to edit & upload content is reserved for
group members.  To request membership, please visit the "Apply for group
membership" link along the ride side of the page.  To ensure the list
stays on subject and isn't spammed, we request that you provide a little
background information when signing up.  

In other news, BHL has made its code available for reuse at:

Looking forward to the ongoing discussions through these lists & at
TDWG!
