[SEEK-Taxon] LinneanCore Wiki

[Dave Vieglais]

Hi Rich,
I must ask - What's the point?  The discussion of the so called Linnean 
Core seems to be a duplicate of the last couple of years of community 
effort that have gone into the development of the TCS.  Could you help 
me out a bit by providing a few bullet points to show why this 
development is necessary and not already covered by the TCS?

Thanks,
   Dave V.
