Description
In October 2013 the new project "BFL – Communication Platform" started. Its goal in the coming three years is to set up an interactive communication platform for floristic volunteer experts and citizen scientists interested in the vegetation of Bavaria. The platform is based on wiki technology and is technically managed as part of the biowikifarm. The Bayernflora Wiki offers additional possibilities compared to those of the current portal Botanischer Informationsknoten Bayern (BIB). A repository for multimedia data (e. g. images) and a forum for discussion are going to be established. Plant identification tools and a tool for document up- and download are provided. The moderation of the cooperative elements, e. g. an event calendar, is supervised in cooperation between project co-workers and volunteer experts. Workshops are organised to introduce volunteer curators to the database tools of the Diversity Workbench. A user help desk will be installed to answer all comments and contributions from the public concerning the Flora of Bavaria. Anyone interested in the development of the interactive wiki communication platform is encouraged to contribute.
