Re: Eflora of India (eFI) has reached 2,00,000 messages and 10,000 species! : To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected], Gurcharan Singh <[email protected]>, [email protected], Ushadi Micromini <[email protected]>, [email protected], [email protected]
*EFI has reached 10,000 species** : *Would it not be wonderful if the best part of the EFI collections of images could be presented through Image charts. ? * I have put up a Sample Web Page Here <https://sites.google.com/site/indiafloraimages/> * . Please take a look.. It uses Google tools which can make this work as easy as using Windows Office. This idea was mooted earlier on EFI , for Phyllanthaceae , by Vijaysankar-ji and Dinesh-ji. It's being done in different ways : * plantsystematics.org* <http://plantsystematics.org> has an organized family-genus hierarchy, and * treesindia.indiabiodiversity.org* <http://treesindia.indiabiodiversity.org/species/list/?max=42&offset=0&sort=lastUpdated&order=desc&total=1863&startsWith=T&sGroup=829> has a alphabetical index under which species belonging to all families are presented. Both of these would require considerable effort to develop, and probably the work may be better out-sourced. By contrast the * flowersofindia* <http://www.flowersofindia.net/> site uses easier approach and concentrates on one species per page to present its very wide collections. *Doing it will definitely take some effort. If we have teams of volunteers, some having familiarity with common computer apps such as spreadsheets, editing etc, and some with a little more experience on creating web pages. : *By parcelling the collections into groups of genera, and taking only the most unique, representative images for a given species the work load should be manageable. * Together we can make it work.* regards ASinha * Following a post on EFI is often the beginning of a new journey* > > -- With regards, J.M.Garg 'Creating awareness of Indian Flora & Fauna' <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jmgarg1> The whole world uses my Image Resource <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:J.M.Garg> of more than a thousand species & eight thousand images of Birds, Butterflies, Plants etc. (arranged alphabetically & place-wise).
