Old Index List with Nomenclature changes added.

[Martin Thoene]

I pasted over the old species index and I've worked my way through the list putting new nomenclature in blue. This will help Jeff with inputting changes when we've finished our work.

Anything we've done a new profile for has a *

Any changes that I've missed please add the new name in cyan.

[Emma Turner]

Martin,

Should we add any 'new' species not yet documented on the old species index to the bottom of this list for inclusion? I think there are quite a few additions.

Emma

[Martin Thoene]

Yes, that's a good idea. I've already done profiles on fish that aren't on this old list.

For clarity, add the new entry in Cyan please.

Martin.

[Emma Turner]

Ok, will do.

[Emma Turner]

Added the following to the list:

Annamia sp.
Lepidocephalichthys hasselti
Nemacheilus fasciatus
Pangio doriae
Schistura spilota
Sewellia lineolata
Sewellia sp. 'spotted'

There are probably more than this, so other Mods, please feel free to add to the list!

I also got some new loaches in on Tuesday, but I want to get pics and clarification that I do have exactly what I ordered before adding them to our list.

Emma

[Emma Turner]

Hmmm, mine are gone now. Martin, I'll add them to the list you just put up.

Emma

[shari2]

EYES NEEDED!

Scrolling down the sticky's in the species list it is easy to see that there is no order to the posts. Comparing them back to Martin's list there are discriptions posted for which there are no entries. To that end I have tried to build a tool to organize the work completed as well as the work still to be done. This tool is also a work in progress but it tries to show how the same information could be found using the scientific name or the common name. This could also be expanded to create an index by synonym.

Please go to this link:

http://www.sanford9.com/LoachIndex/Loac ... sIndex.htm

The page comes up with tabs at the bottom. Currently there are two: Index and Common Name. On the index tab are all the species from Martin's list as well as new species added here. The rule of thumb for the colors is:
PINK lines are in Martin's list and have descriptions begun. The first column with the word "LINK" is an active link and should take you directly to that description.
YELLOW lines are description pages that are not in Martin's list of species.
WHITE lines are species for which a description page has not been started.
The entries on this index tab are sorted by scientific name. The common name tab is indexed according to common name.

This is a work in progress. Hopefully it will allow you, the experts, to more easily see what needs to be done and what progress you have made. It may also be helpful when it comes time to ask Jeff to do some reorganizing in the future.

Comments? Questions? Ideas? Suggestions? Please post them here.
Thanks.

[Jim Powers]

Great idea!!!
That will especially be necessary as work progresses further on this.

[shari2]

List now has 202 entries. I added the new ones Emma posted.

[Mark in Vancouver]

Fantastic!

[Martin Thoene]

That list is really looking awesome! Great work you two

Martin.

[shari2]

I really would like to have alternating grey/white or something like the fishbase pages. Would make scrolling across and down lengthy lists much less stressful. Now I have to figure out how to do that.

DreamWeaver is a wonderful thing. The ijits guide to web page design

[Martin Thoene]

Is it the Complete Dream Weaver ?

If so, it might work for me 'cos I'm a complete ijit when it comes to this stuff

Martin.

[shari2]

Would you species writers prefer to have the Excel version with the color highlights linked, rather than the unmarked list that's currently up?

I was thinking it might be more useful for you guys to see what's done and not done. I changed it because I was considering what it should look like later on...but we are not there yet and thinking it over I'm wondering if the original format was easier for you to use?

[Martin Thoene]

I'm happy with it as it is now. When you read my E-mail you'll realize that the visuals are everything to me. This version is preferable to the other in that respect.

Is there a significance to the two yellow/orange highlighting tones used?

With the other version, I need sunglasses

Martin.
