eclayne said:I agree that this is a very powerful tool. Even 4 datapoints that affect a single species and it's cultivars can affect a lot of plants.

Proposals for an entire genus might only include 1 or 2 datapoints that are true for all plants involved.


I agree with this & understand the value of it.

I also wonder how much work this is going to be for the Plants Administrators. Zuzu (for example) obviously had to go through & check all that information & so will each Plants admin. I guess what I'm trying to say is; if the Plants Administrators have to go through & check that all the info. is correct, then why are *we* proposing data? Why aren't the Plants Administrators just going through & putting the data in? And please don't take this as being snarky on my part. I'm just thinking this is a heck of a workload for them *as if they were doing the work in the first place*.
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
