Note new activities as they emerge and capture the imagination of the community - try for example something like 'GBIF'...

Note also that Taxacom (and taxonomy?) seemed to have had a heyday around the early/mid '90s... ah, the good ole days... so much optimism, so much hope... (or was that, 'so much hype'?)... :-)
