The Australasian Fishes project has a new look

You may have noticed that the Australasian Fishes project looks different.

We've converted from a traditional project to a collection project. Why did we do this? The primary reason is that we were going backwards. At the time of conversion, we had a stockpile of over 11,000 suitable observations that needed to be added manually. Despite having a team of people adding observations, the situation was unmanageable.

Now when you add your observation, it is automatically uploaded to the Australasian Fishes project, assuming it passes the project rules.

So what does this mean to you? The project still has the same functionality but when you upload your new observations you don't need to choose to add them to the project. They will go in automatically.

We're going through a testing phase at the moment. Please let me know if you have any problems.

Thank you to Scott Loarie, @loarie, for his help making this change happen.
