[Taxacom] taxonomic names databases

At the risk of prolonging this thread arguably past its useful purpose, I
of course omitted the most obvious candidate software for persons or
distributed teams who wish to collate taxonomic and other content not
elsewhere available (or only in sub-optimal form as claimed for LepIndex) -
Scratchpads (http://scratchpads.eu/) - claiming currently 950+
installations covering 162,000+ taxa. Unless I am wrong, this would offer
another (and well supported) route for those wishing to start back filling
the "missing" high-grade Lepidopteran names area. I believe Scratchpads v2
onwards can also export their taxon data which is a definite advantage over
Scratchpads v1, which could not.

Now I shall walk away and hope when I return to see the process of
community assembly of high quality Lepidopteran names not only commenced
but thriving...
