Aside from the new look and feel - very similar to WoRMS and as such illustrating the affinities of WoRMS and Molluscabase - the new home page also contains news items. These are directly editable by editors, as such providing editors with a direct communication channel to users.

Also new is the link to a dedicated Facebook page, where users and editors can interact directly. Link: WoRMS & Molluscabase appreciation group | Facebook

Gratitude goes to Dr. Thomas Neubauer for revising the text - now hosted in the new "About" page -, to Jan-Johan ter Poorten for the graphic design, and to Ulrich Wieneke for the analysis of the survey results, preparation of proposals and general roll-out of the project ... and of course to all those of you who provided their valuable input and feedback to make this happen.

Enjoy!
