After all the revisions, and test section launched for public use.
Online program for conducting collection allows you to organize information about instances in the collection of butterflies, bind them to the data (classification, images, and so forth.) Online, browse collections of other users, and share with them (if desired) information about your collector's item. In addition - to facilitate the exchange and sale of copies between the curator of insects.Common sense: you upload information about instances on the website is automatically attached to the copies of the forms in the catalog site, and consequently, photos, comments and stuff like that. You can publish information about the possibility of sharing and / or selling some of the instances.You can view the data on the copies from the collections of other users (if they set appropriate access settings). You can view information about the resolve of its copies - all visitors, only registered users can - only to those who know the password. And you can not allow anyone.And all this for each instance separately.
The points:
- Download copies to the site at a time through a web form. It can be accompanied by pictures for him. You can not.- Download copies on their website through a CSV / XLS file (created in Excel-like editors, and even in a notebook, exported from other programs to maintain collectionsif they have the ability to export data)
- Upload photos of packs for instance through the zip-file or one
- Automatic binding instance to a form on the website (do not need a fence system taxa)
- Placing a up to 23 properties for each instance
- Restriction of access to information about your copies (4 mode)
- Possibility of issuing copies to the exchange and / or sale
- View data about instances of other users (if they are set up appropriate permissions)
- The selection of items available on the grounds. As prizankam instances (e.g., state), and the species to which they belong.I draw your attention that the default is assigned to all instances of a free access mode (for information on them can see everything). If you want to use a different mode - put option meets both when loading data into a web form or in the CSV-file.We strongly recommend to assign a number or some other unique identifier instances in your collection. Otherwise, you yourself will be difficult to compare a copy with him on the site in the same collection.

Prog is now much, but not all.
In the near future, adding:
- Editing all data (includinglast entered) of the copies
- Binding copies of the points on the map
- Ability to comment on the items, broadcast of these comments in the section "Sooschestvo."

I usually new sections immediately spread that the thread of their own, but I do not supervise any collection.So do not be surprised if the first time a section is empty (until someone loads on their copies of the Old regime dosutpa in which it will be able to see other users). That is, if the site will be thousands of copies, but no public access, the outside section will look empty.Links to download data - in Dashboard . Link to browsing and selection of information - from the top menu of each page.

In this topic welcome any comments on the subject, in particular, comments on bugs and suggestions for further development.

I tried and did not understand anything! Incomprehensible tree tabs (pages) - if at all there is? I open a page collection and immediately saw two microscopic foty. It is not clear whose it is, where. I think the first page to be content.Whose and how many collections there, even if they are invisible and people should know what they are and be able to ask to go on a trip! Next, think of the contents page of the collection. And then already foty and not so small, you want your watch without glasses.How to delete your photos from the collection if it is no longer relevant? Of course, if in conjunction with the gallery, then okay, but its something you can erase, change, etc. I enjoyed the download page.

Alexander,
1. With regard to Fig- and others - you are familiar with the site section "catalog"? This is an analogue of working with instances of collectors. If you are unfamiliar - will charge / call each other, talk. A short, there is a "catalog" and have a "classification". That now is, for instance - is an analogue of "catalog".What you offer (and we do, too) - analog "classification". For both species, and in particular, for instances where you want to "catalog", but after the paper books and knigopodobnyh sites is not immediately be clear (force of habit).
2. whose collections are available - is now seen in parameter "Curator". And by the way, I'm not sure that this infa should be available to all.I propose to discuss who have any opinion on this matter.
3. Udalyalki / redaktirovalki instance properties, including photo - in the near future (adapted to the new features now).

Here are just copied the pointed top and underside of copies .: http: // lepidoptera.ru / specimen
It happens, Peter, I'm constantly testing all of these innovations are the first: the transfer of photos, pictures in his replacement Luke, and now the collection and division :) And so the first question and wishes :)
1) It would be desirable,to be able to copy photos underside and the top photo on one page / number: it underside is no less (if not more important, in many cases) than the top.If this is not a fantasy, of course :)
2) Do-it possible to edit the data (or make the "Special Notes"), or remove each page independently curator of the collection?
P.S. At this point in my LC does not open the link Loading collectible copies of one , would have to be corrected.

Alexander, right in the same vein of thought (see. My question №2) :) Well, only Peter listened to the wishes of practitioners. We are here because not many: entomologists, exhibit material from their own collections.I can list: Dmitry Pozhogin Alexander Dumchus, You and I (though to me not the main direction associated with butterflies, I zhuchist and a collection for the most part I "Zhuchin"). Perhaps it's the people at the moment that can make suggestions on the issue. We need to develop this section of their modest efforts.
Remaining authors site: closeup.The matter is also required, but these people entomological collections usually do not lead, and therefore nothing to say on this subject can not.

Good thing there were reviews. And thank you for the comments on the identified glitches.
Gluck transfer when there are apostrophes fishing spot - treat, can be moved safely.
Gluck when the pages were shown copies of the wrong data field - will fly. This in itself is infa based were correct, ie no changes in the properties of already downloaded copies are not necessary.Regarding the two or more illustrations - it necessary, but not in the first. Ie This feature is sure to be, but not in the next two weeks for sure.
Edit / delete the data itself, and a mandatory thing for a long time already in the process. I brake, but soon lay out.However, no timeout is, by itself, will not - you can delete and edit data on their units at any time, no one has anything without asking and without confirming.
The first version of Google Maps for point MEIS is ready, it remains only to introduce the site. Afigitelno thing has turned out even better than expected.So, too, will that look.
Export data - also already in the works, too, is expected soon.
With the amount of people online who supervise the collection, you, Basil, to put it mildly, gleaning. But that's not the point, because the hedgehog is clear that under this new section will come as tokmo it (this section) and is slightly podnapolitsya completed yet its functionality.And with regards to the "Good-only Peter listened to the wishes of practitioners" - drag the studio a thread example, when I did not listen to the wishes of practitioners.
