Sheets for new users

[Tom Humphrey]

I've added an additional category of sheet (listed as a project on the homepage):

"Sheets reserved for new users"

These are a subset of sheets which are expected to be relatively easy to work on. It can be daunting when you first start trying to decipher Victorian herbarium sheet labels, which deter many people from contributing to the work.

The specimens in the new user set are still real herbarium sheets but are from a modern collection, labelled to a consistently high standard. These sheets would be worth having on the website anyway - but it's an added advantage that they can be used to give new user a 'soft-landing'.

See here for an example sheet.

(as the number of these sheets is quite limited, please don't pick from the category once you consider yourself an old-hand at the project - but don't worry if you happen to get such a sheet without intending to, the sheets are part of the general pool, so may get allocated to you by chance occasionally - as happened with the example specimen above.)
