Thanks to its 1728 members, efloraofindia (efi) e-group (earlier indiantreepix) is all set to scale new heights by crossing 6000 messages in this month.
Already 5840 messages have been posted upto 29th Sept. 11 this month as per details below: https://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix/about?hl=en Total messages already on the group are more than 85000. Not only that we have taken it upon ourselves to compile all this precious data in our website at https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/, which already have more than 5500 species arranged scientifically. I hope this model is taken up by other groups also for scientific utilisation of e-group resources. -- With regards, J.M.Garg ([email protected]) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jmgarg1 'Creating awareness of Indian Flora & Fauna' The whole world uses my Image Resource of more than a *thousand species* & eight thousand images of Birds, Butterflies, Plants etc. (arranged alphabetically & place-wise): http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:J.M.Garg.
