[Taxacom] the hurdle for all biodiv informatics initiatives

[Vladimir Blagoderov]

Dear Tony,

As a matter of fact this sweet spot has been around for more than three
years - take a look at Scratchpads (http://scratchpads.eu/). Sites built
with Drupal can be more flexible than Wiki or more controlled than EoL,
depending on community needs.

Cheers,

Vlad
