[Taxacom] Frank Bisby

[Jim Croft]

That is terrible news. We were in a nominal meeting with him on Friday and
Saturday, and he was at TDWG the week before and seemed in good health.

The global collaborative taxonomy aggregation landscape, legumes in
particular, will never be the same.

Please pass on condolenes to his family,colleagues and friends from the
Australian National Herbarium.
