New GPI Trial forum

Edited by Guy Atchison on 8 September 2009 - 12:59pm

Hi Kew digitisers,

Richard suggested putting up our comments on the scratchpad so I've made this forum. Post here anything at all relating to the trial over the coming weeks, it can be a question you want answered, something you want the rest of us to be aware of, or simply a note/comment that you want to jot down to remember.

Don't worry about tidiness, all posts can be sorted out or deleted before the workshop so scribble away!

Genera

4 September 2009 - 3:12pm — Katherine

I am doing the sequential collecting for legumes this week. I just want to make the comment that without a digitisers list of genera which I would normally take with me when collecting it is difficult to determine which genus I am collecting types from. In some cases 2 genera names are on the genus folder. Generally in this case I would check the number on the genus cover with that on the sheet.

I would put this in the con list for the sequential method. 

Thanks,

Katherine

I agree with you that without a list as well it would be easy to make mistakes.

As I see there being a lot of discussion over methods I've now started a fresh topic called 'Sequential Vs List?'

Days and Months in other Languages

4 September 2009 - 10:42am — Richard Elsam

Hi everyone,

I just came across this link with the names of days and months in other languages which I thought might be useful to all during the GPI trial... it certainly saved me on a couple of occasions!
