Citizens! I think it's time to close up a coherent structure of users on the site and invite her to take part in new people. For the sake of greater development of the site. The structure is: I can clearly see the following groups of users:

1. Non-registered - can look but can not touch the hands. Like now.
2.At least - can not only watch, but also to load data to the species and other taxa indicating the sources to ship your photos and comments to all and sundry. Too much like now (just another form of the addition of information on the taxa above species level is necessary to implement).
3. The Working Party.Registered users who do not have the time or desire to perform moderator / curator function, but can actively discuss administrative matters as it is better to realize things like that. Iealways have a qualified opinion and are part of the discussions covered the admin and the core debates open to all.
4. The active writers. Engaged in the completion of the blog based on its data and external sources. Look after the articles are written in a blog registered users.
5. The authors of the articles.Actually, everything stated in the title. Only their is virtually none.
6. Technical curators photos - edit photos on the site to the gallery was less technically weak pictures.
7. Hosts taxa - individual groups of taxa (those which dealt with).Monitor the adequacy of the classification and species information in essays and descriptions supraspecific taxa, including decide what pictures to illustrate those or other descriptions in "their" taxon.
8. Formalizatory signs. Formalizes the signs on the basis of the essays in the species (in conjunction with kurtorami taxa).Remember, formalized format allows you to select types of signs on them (for example, to find all types with a length of more than 4 and the wing is less than 5 cm).
9. The curator of the project - author and host of individual projects on the site. This option provides, but there is almost no working examples.
10. Moderators - keep order on the site as a whole.Transfer the photos from the data users and curators to the kinds of help in the work of all other groups.
11. Interpreters. We have Russian and English version. A lot of information for transfer in both directions, and auto / machine translation does not seem to yield.
12. Administrator - watching everything as much as possible involved in everything.Engaged in the technical part (at least until the site has no separate technical group on programming and so on. N.)

It goes, one person can belong to several groups.And by itself, representatives of the different groups actively kicking each other for more activities: -)

I propose here to discuss the draft of the proposed structure of users on the site.In addition, I propose here to raise their hands who wants to participate in the work site at the level of some of the user groups, and not just in zaregalsya, but is not involved. And I suggest popokazyvat finger at those who would you like to see in this or that group.The current list of users with extended rights: Constantine Efetov Alexander Zhakov, Svyatoslav Knyazev, Evgeny Komarov Stanislav Korb, Irina Nikulin, Dmitry Pozhogin Vasily Feoktistov, Petr Khramov . All of these can add new taxa, as well as have access to the service topic. Besides that:
Constantine Efetov - curator of Zygaenidae .Alexander Zhakov - curator of Coleophoridae , as well as the European Tortricoidea , Noctuoidea , Pyraloidea , plus transfer photos to the species.
Svyatoslav Knyazev - curator of Hepialidae , and Noctuoidea , Pyraloidea , Tortricoidea North Asia.
Stanislav Korb - curator of Rhopalocera Palearctic.Irina Nikulin - illustrating species and taxa supraspecific (assigns photos as illustrations and sketches for the species pages with descriptions of other taxa) plus opening / closing debate.
Dmitry Pozhogin - transfer pictures to the species.Vasiliy Feoktistov - transfer pictures to the species, the change of angle and signs copies at the image transfer pictures to a group of images on them the same individuals, the formalization of signs.
Petr Khramov - all right.

I will begin with a lengthy entry "by itself":
Such questions - rather difficult to discuss and study (just automatically =)
All of these items are directly dependent on how and what will be presented on the site. In a sense, this is another rethinking of the entire contents.Again, based on its modest experience, I note that I am more comfortable initial formulation of the problem, and only then dancing to the organization infrastructure.
However, I do not fully known plans and probably Sci associated with the "ideal" content of the resource.That is why escapes me the idea called "projects", respectively, and n. 9 of the list for me is not absolutely clear ...
Further, specifically on the questions posed:
Claim 3 - who fall into this group? .. formal claim 2 is ever to join the discussion on this resource. However, "closed the admin discussion" that, IMHO, is not enough.
n.4,5 - than these two points differ? .. Ie Claim 4 - is a blog-writers, and claim 5 - authors of popular scientific articles?
p.6,7,9 and 10 - different kinds of moderators, divided by type of liability.
claim 9 - interesting to hear what a "project" ...Plus I want to know in what direction floats resource - whether it's still gallery of photos or a photo-determinant, or something similar to zabugornye websites statistics fishing, etc.

Shamil on concepts - was just about to close up the topic, your post served as the last straw: -) So, see page http://lepidoptera.ru/community/27814. There's also about "projects".
6,7 and 9 differ from 10, in that they are highly specialized. Iepeople employed, for example, some one takosnom site may be purple (within reason, of course), to many other projects / taxa site. A moderator should still keep some integrity picture state of things on the site in your head and, if necessary, to resolve disputes with professionals.Essno, it's true, when all these points are not half a person: -)
Group 3 get people who do not care, but they do not have time / opportunity to wider functions. Many discussions in the good must begin not on the public, and in a closed group.That's what is needed, and this structure (the group most likely to enroll, you can machine many comrades from Nos. 4 and above).
4 and 5 differ from each other as well as materials from the "Articles" section on the website and in the section "Blog".

By the way, here is one more explanation about admin / moderators / professionals. For the specialist is very good quality is perfectionism. Suppose he does not notice anything around, but in his area of responsibility he is always clean and tidy. Admin - the complete opposite.He cares about everything, but it is the nature of his problems can not be a perfectionist, he always has to find a compromise between the various judgments and opinions. Including when the only correct answer does not exist. Moderator - between them.The functions at Modera and spices are all from different spheres, but still a vivid example with the addition of taxa:
The task of the administrator or moderator of a high level - make the database of 50,000 species, catching at the same time a maximum of synonyms, generic combinations and other crossings, as well as the adequacy of the classification.Due to the large amounts of data in this paper can be tolerated, for example, 200, mistakes.
Modders task - to find 170 of obvious errors, which, however, were not quite apparent to the administrator. As well as adding new taxa, but not thousands, at most tens.
The task of the expert - that in "his" taxon has not been a single mistake.And add your own or dopinat admin / modders have been added to all new taxa that are included in its area of responsibility.
I think something like this.

In the near future (and not only) future looms task that does not require deep expertise: preparation of data to download other people's photos. Let me explain: there are people who have foty interesting species of insects, and who agree to publish them online, but they do not want it / can not.I foty these are with the author's descriptions of them. In many cases the description already laid out on the shelves (the name of the taxon, geography, etc.), but they need to be verified (whether all laid out a gun) and complete / correct if necessary before loading the site (or edited immediately after loading).In addition, there can also be a function of at least a primary selection flies from cutlets (foty quite banal or not at all in the subject).
Usually, I do this. But not always enough time. For example, now we are waiting for a preparation of several thousand photons. And in August, according to preliminary data, it adds some more ... ... tens of thousands ...If anyone can help with this - reported. Again, special knowledge is not required, it is sufficient to be able to isolate the Latin name among the three lines of text in Russian or English (mostly) tongue.
