Thank you for the great feedback merrimacga!
The component voting (and/or non-binary voting) idea is something we've been considering and we'll give it more thought now. I would love to add in the depth of features that you have suggested. (We are waiting first to see if the application receives enough activity to justify the time and effort to do so.)
The creation of the site so far has taken considerable effort with the programming, but also with the clipping, cleaning up, and processing of the 134 plant images, and the collection and compilation of previous plant identification proposals from previous researchers and their publishings.
This project actually arose as an unplanned side project from some other Voynich-related research efforts that we are currently active on.
I do want to extend and refine (and ensure accuracy) the historical data that has been preloaded -- that is, all the proposals entered into the app as if from the previous researchers, and this is a task that others could readily help us with. (Any volunteers?)
And, hopefully, some of the historical researchers who are still with us might take over the accounts that we have set up in their name so as to confirm and refine their entries.
We do plan to add more reference links on the About page to guide people to the many useful websites and resources (this forum, etc.). I will also add the great list of botanical resources that you provided in your other posting (with credit to you.)
Thanks!
