Do you all have any plans on updating the published backbone

<div>Dear all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am happy to let you know that the new backbone taxonomy has
just gone live.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Real time indexing will be off until Wednesday morning CPH
time (36hrs from now) to allow us to roll back should any
unforeseen issues spring up. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>GBIF now have a mechanism in place to bring in changes to the
backbone taxonomy within weeks, as opposed to years. We
anticipate the next deployment of the backbone taxonomy to be in
around 12 weeks from now. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Congratulations to all involved with this work.</div>

<div>Dear GBIF API users,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are pleased to announce that we are
preparing to move a new taxonomic backbone into
production.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is the first revision of the backbone for
quite some years, which will bring the GBIF
backbone up to date with latest data sources, such
as the Catalogue of Life 2016 (January edition)
along with fixes for the many issues you have
reported since 2013. You can read more about the
backbone taxonomy rewriting on <a

<div><br>
</div>
<div>This requires some significant processing
within the GBIF.org system as we'll be rerunning
all quality control routines on all data - this
means other improvements may also take effect
across older data. While GBIF.org will remain
operational to users during this time, crawling
will be paused. We expect to start this process
today, and during next week the changes will be
visible in production, after which crawling will
resume.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you all for your patience, and providing
the data, feedback and submitting the issues that
have allowed this. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We'll report here as changes come into effect.
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>More soon,</div>
<div>The GBIF dev team</div>
</div>
