Hello GRSciColl Friends,

Thank you to all of you who have joined our community call in August and/or the GRSciColl session at the SPNHC/TDWG conference last month. It was great to see you all!

We now have a tutorial on the GBIF Data Blog explaining how to upload collection descriptors in GRSciColl. If you are interested, you can read it here: https://data-blog.gbif.org/post/grscicoll-collection-descriptors/.

In other news:

* If you missed it, the recording of the August community call is available here: https://vimeo.com/1001951935 * The synchronization of GRSciColl with Index Herbariorum now works with the suggestion system. This means that editors will now get notified and asked to review new entries coming from Index Herbariorum. * We are working on making GRSciColl country mediators (editors) visible and recognized for their work (like the GBIF open data ambassadorshttps://www.gbif.org/article/1ye7qAa9Z2HVSn85bfSmLP/who-are-the-gbif-biodiversity-open-data-ambassadors). I will reach out to country mediators when the time comes to ask them to make/update public profiles on our system.

As always, thank you for helping us improve GRSciColl. All the best, Marie
