[Taxacom] taxon wikipedia type resources

[Dave Roberts]

Dear Roger,

the Scratchpads <http://scratchpads.eu> offer this functionality at  
the discretion of the site maintainer.

Maintainers have it in their gift to allow registered users differing  
levels of editorial access.  When we set the system up we imagined  
that the maintainer, or team of senior editors, would know by  
reputation those they considered trustworthy enough to be given live  
edit rights.

Cheers,  Dave

In general, it is easier to get forgiveness than to get permission.
