WoRMS announced the expansion a few months ago. I've been checking weekly for land snails, and only occasionally do I find one. Their website mentioned the project would take some time, but  that eventually all mollusks would be included. It appears to me that the project is still in early stages for some things.

I just noticed the WoRMS database includes at least one non-marine species, or at least that is how I would describe the below species...so where is the line being drawn on that (eg other freshwater snails from normally marine families like Neritidae?)
