Hello friends, Now that the site is back, please help develop articles and other information resources also. Don't feel that you have done your bit just by sending photos to/for the web site.
If you have ever used ButterflyIndia for learning more or for getting your images identified or for coming to know about events and attending them, then you have a duty to help develop this site. Considering that there are 1341 members of ButterflyIndia and about that many species if each of us just helps write one article, all of the species will be done! Warm regards, Ashwin Baindur ________________________________ From: "Kunte, Krushnamegh" <[email protected]> To: butterflyindia <[email protected]> Sent: Mon, 31 January, 2011 11:41:36 Subject: [ButterflyIndia] Butterflies of India website Hello ButterflyIndia members, The Butterflies of India website (http://ifoundbutterflies.org) had been offline for some time due to server crashes, malware attacks and other issues. We were very disappointed with these setbacks, which practically held us back from developing the website last year. Finally, 10 days ago we moved the website to another secure server and also sorted out several problems that had dogged us last year. Ullasa Kodandaramaiah and I, who edit this website along with S. Kalesh, have recently learned a few tricks of the web hosting and management trade. So the website should function smoothly from now on and we are better prepared for day-to-day management now. Currently we have 75 species pages on the website, with at least one picture per species. The number of species pages should go to 150 and the number of images should go to well over 400 within the next couple of weeks since we have the photographs of that many species already formatted. Once this is done, we will get to clearing up the backlog of hundreds of images that many of you had submitted for this website last year. So there will be lots of developments on the website in coming months. Keep checking back, we will have a fairly large, peer-reviewed reference photo collection on the website in the near future which will be constantly updated. Big thanks to Ullasa for investing a huge amount of time and attention to bring the website back on track. With best wishes, Krushnamegh. ------------------------------------------------- Krushnamegh Kunte, PhD Post-doctoral Research Fellow FAS Center for Systems Biology, Harvard University 52 Oxford St., Northwest Lab Room 458.40-3 Cambridge, MA 02138, USA.
