All too frequently the search for the "perfect' prevents something from being presented which is "merely very good".  ThIs Mediteranean Sea Shell site would have come out much earlier if, like a new computer product, the end users were allowed to work with a badly flawed product to help polish it quickly.  Even so, the authors  do invite input for just that purpose!  Remember that evolution brings organisms to the point of "good enough", rather than perfect.  This new site stands tall on the shoulders of many lesser sites that were good enough for their time.  Perhaps good linguists can offer complete translations in a few more common languages and satisfy the critics.

Congratulations for this new web site and it is I know a lot of work to do that .
I am upset because a lot of people said first the translation is not perfect ..............
More respect for the work will be a very good thing .
