Dear members, I think these are the phases of developments of eFI site: 1. Phase 1- When we could retrieve the data from our Excel sheet and put these on efi site species wise, say from Nov. 2010, to say up to Dec.2012 (new format <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fsites.google.com%2Fsite%2Fefloraofindia%2Fspecies%2Fa---l%2Fcl%2Fcombretaceae%2Fterminalia%2Fterminalia-bellirica&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNFLLTekBHyzzTTU3-c7EhWcLNwRjw> & colour scheme <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fsites.google.com%2Fsite%2Fefloraofindia%2Fcolour-scheme-formatting&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNECp-Ee5X2oylJNBZ4xalzOhvTcUw> ). 2. Phase 2- When we started adding data directly from discussion threads to efi site along with species available on genera pages, say for next two years (new genera pages <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/indiantreepix/Ubjh1TqbsoM>, availability of keys <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/indiantreepix/19vRcGjOPKY>, additional inf. from cc-by sources <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/indiantreepix/an6aZN4T_BY>, use of efi in scientific publications <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/indiantreepix/819inw30Ng4>, efloraofindia in IAAT Conference <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/indiantreepix/mFQ14nYnQ04>, Award for efloraofindia <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/award-for-efloraofindia>), say from Jan.'2013 to Dec. 2014, for two years. 3. Phase 3- When we started inserting images at species, genera pages and family pages (What if all the efi pages look so beautiful ? <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topicsearchin/indiantreepix/what$20AND$20if$20AND$20author$3ajmga...@gmail.com/indiantreepix/NcGvLUmSezs>, Guidelines- Members are now allowed to insert pictures in efi site pages <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/indiantreepix/dx_ihgI9y1M>, Genera pages with pictures- Another very interesting development <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/indiantreepix/QdZ4eCxfd9o>, Good learning through insertion of images <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/indiantreepix/hkwDJbSCG9c>, 89 families are now with images (with names starting from A to D) <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/indiantreepix/77Hb0VOFahw>, Surfing efloraofindia has become easier <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/indiantreepix/6IzqedrJNzE>, Subpage Listings <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/general-eposts/general-efi-posts/about-efi-website/subpage-listings/subpage-listings>), say from Jan.'2015 to Dec.2016, for two years. 4. Phase 4- When we started inserting images on large scale along with through revision of all our posts genus and family wise (Comparative images are a game changer <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/indiantreepix/OQVL8wEmew0>, Presentation for IAAt Conference-2017, Delhi University <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/indiantreepix/nxszNUDW96I>, Times have changed with images <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/indiantreepix/O3F6x5KxWLM>, efi completing 10 years <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/general-eposts/general-efi-posts/about-efi-website/10-years>, Images available in all page in efloraofindia <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/indiantreepix/viptcZhZVTI>, Every successive post leads to validation <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/indiantreepix/_cQAOP0MLTs>, efloraofindia (eFI) site completes eight years on 2 Nov. 2018 <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/indiantreepix/nKevfT5iZio>, 121 families are now with images (with names starting from A to H) <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/indiantreepix/1AjpYwIwbT4> & now already more than 150 families covered and focus shifted to genus pages where members are having problem in day to day identifications, To have thumbnails images on all threads <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/indiantreepix/QmLfG7ooxXc>), say from Jan.2017 and still continuing. This aspect came to my mind and I thought of capturing it in a single thread. This only shows how difficult our journey has been, but for the support of all of you.
