[Taxacom] Atlas of Living Australia public release today

[Tony.Rees at csiro.au]

Dear Taxacomers,

In the absence of any more official announcement via this list, I thought I would let members know that the interactive Atlas of Living Australia has gone live in its public version at http://www.ala.org.au/ as of today (previously this URL held descriptive information and documents about the project only). I am presuming that Donald Hobern (ALA Director) has his hands full with related duties today but hope he will not object to my posting this message and inviting interested Taxacom readers to visit the site, experiment with the services offered, and provide feedback if relevant.

Wishing the ALA site a happy 0th birthday,

Regards,

Tony Rees
