----- Forwarded message from Treatise Revision Project < treatise@unc.edu> -----
>> Dear colleagues, We now have a substantial list of potential contributors to the new Bivalvia Treatise revision.  Following discussions with many of you, we have settled on an online version (to be updated periodically) to be made public in July of 2009, hosted by Chronos, followed by a hard copy version with a target date of July, 2011.  If you can commit to a particular organizational effort or topic ( e.g., glossary, bibliography, list of genus and family names, higher level phylogenetics and classification, etc.) or to a particular taxonomic group (or part of a group), please let me know the planned scope of your contribution(s) at this time.  I have preliminary topics from many of you, but please send a confirmation to my new address ( treatise@unc.edu).  I will then compile a list of contributors so we can identify where additional effort is needed and where cooperation is possible.  We will firm up the organization and discuss funding possibilities and cooperative efforts at the Barcelona meeting in July.  If you are being contacted for the first time, please consider this an invitation to join the effort.  Please pass this message along to others who might be interested.  Best wishes -- Joe Carter
