[Taxacom] i4Life Call for Pilot Projects

[Geoff Read]

Dear Thierry,

A taxonomist's ability to interpret harvested names usefully without
context is very limited.  Unless the exact context in the form of a
clickable direct link to the original usage (not an aggregator site) on
the web is provided, I can't see many taxonomists volunteering to take on
examining name lists. It's just too time-consuming and frustrating (I've
done it - unwillingly). Does a good context link come too? It is
essential.
