Hi, Krushnamegh ji, It's nice to finally hear some concrete things in this regard.
Although it won't be possible to upload many photos (except the deficient ones due to paucity of time- due to which I am also finding very little time for '*Indiantreepix*' e-group these days) by me, one can use & upload my photos/ links from my *Image Resource of Butterflies of **India* on Wikimedia Commons as per details below: "*Image Resource of Butterflies of India* I have created a Resource of few hundreds of my best images of Butterflies (around 200 species) *arranged place-wise as well as alphabetically & classified* into Blues, Nymphalids, Skippers, Swallowtails & Whites & Yellows and showing different aspects of a butterfly at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:J.M.Garg_Butterflies Any of these links, as per ones' requirement, can be added in *Favorites* & used immediately whenever required just like a website. I hope it's useful to all, both new & experienced." If required *Indiantreepix Database* (currently having more than 2500 species of plants- which is like an e-book) *can also be uploaded/ link created* & updated from time to time. 2009/12/28 Krushnamegh Kunte <[email protected]> > > > thanks, satyendra. i will let people know when we start inviting > photographs. it should be soon. eventually it should be possible for people > to log in and submit photographs along with the associated information > online, which will appear on the website after the identity and the > associated information has been verified by peers. > > At 12:07 PM +0530 12/28/09, satyendra tiwari wrote: > > > > Dear KK, > > I am happy to share any of my photo you like to put on web. > > Happy to share it for personal Ref. > > It will be a great work for the community. > > Satyendra > > > Satyendra K.Tiwari > Wildlife Photographer, Naturalist & Tour Leader > H.No 129, P.O.Tala.
