      <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><br>

      <div>All the best,</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.
