Happy New year to all our users. Slightly belated but HF has just had an ankle replaced and is only now getting back to a semblance of regular activity. I avoided the use of the word normal.
In the mean time some 25 plants have had their descriptions added and their data entered into the characteristics table together with another 10 descriptions, and 2 updates. Three papers containing over 1500 data items have been incorporated as well, and we have programmed links to more external databases from the species pages.
As HF improves we are looking towards the revamp of the interface, which will be a response to the metrics collected on the database, as well as individual comments from users, and needs identified by the team. Then we would like to incorporate new methods of data collection involving the ecological community, and ultimately we hope to plan a secure future for the database once the current team retire.
