Scratchpads
A flexible online resource for biodiversity hosted by Natural History Museum, London.
In the first year (2007) 466 people from more than 30 countries registered for Scratchpads.
In Aug 2011 there were 3466 active users in more than 60 countries. 363,000 pages of content since March 2007.
Currently 314 Scratchpad sites, one of which is GrassWorld and another is AusGrass2.

Global Distribution Maps
One global map for each species
12,100 species
3 people inputting data from continual upgrades of the information in the DELTA editor since May 2011
Sep 2012 – midway through letter S.
Future plans are to colour code where the distribution is naturalised.

At this stage there is no morphological data in these descriptions. it is planned to compile these using the DELTA progam gesumm
Interactive Keys
Not presently online but will cross-link from Identifylife
These will be in English, French, German and Spanish.
The INTKEY keys in these 4 languages are all ready to be uploaded.

Scratchpad2 Line wrap problem fixed
Maps with colour separation (useful for weed distribution)
Integrated mapping tools - dynamically display point locality data, regional data and shape files as overlays on a Google Map
Over 2012 a number of additional enhancements are planned. These include:
Integrated Single Sign On (SSO), (with author-ID)
Proper Globally Unique Identifiers beyond URL’s
Scratchpad site registry with metadata and visualisations concerning content in all the Scratchpads and author level metrics on content
Rebuild of http://Scratchpads.eu, focusing on content within sites rather than the Scratchpad infrastructure
Identification key building and species database visualisations derived from character data in the matrix editor
Centralised services on controlled vocabularies
Phylogenetic analytical services
Improved training functionality
