[Taxacom] OMG! OMG! Run for your lives! End of the World!

[Roderic Page]

Pity that with such a milestone in botanical taxonomy, none of the  
informatics works. The names aren't in IPNI, the LSIDs have no data,  
and the stated means for resolving the LSIDs fails (appending them to http://ipni.org/ 
  gets a 404). See http://iphylo.blogspot.com/2010/05/linnaeus-meets-internet-plos-botany.html 
  for details.

Given that the whole point of this paper is to promote electronic  
publication of names, it's unfortunate that none of the links to names  
actually work (as of now).

Regards

Rod
