Dear colleagues,

As some of you may know, the Natural History Museum of London has decided to stop supporting the virtual research environment Scratchpads, as the underlying Drupal 7 is coming to its end of life and the NHM does not have the resources to migrate Scratchpads to a newer Drupal version.

Since 2019, I have put a lot of effort into the Myriatrix Scratchpad (https://myriatrix.myspecies.info/), dedicated to the Myriapoda and Onychophora of the world. I would like to continue maintaining the database and keeping it accessible online. Would it be possible for the Atlas of Living Australia / Living Atlases community to support me with converting Myriatrix into a Living Atlas? I will be happy to contribute back, e. g., with updated classifications (taxonomic backbones) for Myriapoda and Onychophora in the other Living Atlases.

Kind regards,

Carlos
