When citing electronic > publications, it is probably best to say something like "most recen= t > revision June 17, 2004". For the purposes of citation stability, it is very desirable that eac= h version ofd the PhyloCode should have its own persistent URL that doe= s not change when a newer version becomes available. Then I can say that a name is created in accordance with version 2b which is available (and always will be) at =09http://www.ohiou.edu/phylocode/PhyloCode2b.pdf I would like to see a recommendation that citations of the PhyloCode give the URL for the specific version that is used. I am pleased to see that the site does indeed have an archive of olde= r versions of the code: =09http://www.ohiou.edu/phylocode/PhyloCode.pdf [version 1, I guess?] =09http://www.ohiou.edu/phylocode/PhyloCode2.pdf =09http://www.ohiou.edu/phylocode/PhyloCode2a.pdf =09http://www.ohiou.edu/phylocode/PhyloCode2b.pdf but it would be good to see the naming convention made explicit, and to have a dedicated "older versions" page on the web-site. Finally, the URL =09http://www.phylocode.org/ currently redirects to =09http://www.ohiou.edu/phylocode/ which is helpful; but it would be better if the site actually lived a= t www.phylocode.org, so that more appropriate URLs such as=20 =09http://www.phylocode.org/PhyloCode2b.pdf worked as expected. In the longer term, it doesn't seem appropriate that the PhyloCode should be tied to Ohio University. Hope these thoughts are helpful. _/|_=09 ____________________________________________________________= ___ /o ) \/ Mike Taylor <mike@indexdata.com> http://www.miketaylor.org= .uk )_v__/\ "A win as predictable as it was unexpected" -- Ian XXX, =09 on Millwall 2, Rotherham 0, 15/2/97 -- Listen to free demos of soundtrack music for film, TV and radio =09http://www.pipedreaming.org.uk/soundtrack/
