TAXACOM is a mailing list that started some time in the forever ago, and ran until it was suddenly cut off at the end of 2025. It was one of the primary places for discussions of taxanomy and nomenclature as a listserve or public forum. I, together with Shinichi Nakahara and my mentor from the Royal Society Te Apārangi Neil Birrell, restarted it as a Google Group to allow continued discussion.
I’m hoping that we’ll end up having more good conversations in the years to come. I’m also hoping to institute the Contributor Covenant as a Code of Conduct, too.
