+The ''ildis.org'' domain name will expire on 14th September 2027.
+</wrap>
+This means that the old ILDIS web-site will no longer be accessible using that domain.
+If you or your organisation would like to take responsibility for the domain name
+before it disappears,
+and provide services for botanists, scientists and others interested
+in the "legume" plant family **Fabaceae** (formerly known as **Leguminosae**),
+please let me know.

 ====== ILDIS (International Legume Database and Information Service) ======
-This is a new ILDIS wiki, under construction.
+The pioneering //International Legume Database and Information Service// is no longer operating,
+and its database has been updated and is now part of :FIXME:.
+The [[https://ildis.org/index.shtml|original ILDIS web-site]] will remain available for some time,
+but will not be updated.
+The ''ildis,org'' domain name will disappear in September 2027 unless someone else takes it over,
+but the web-site may remain accessible at **[[https://ildis.rwhite.uk|ildis.rwhite.uk]]** for an extended period.
+Please let me know of any problems ([[richard@ildis.org|Richard White]]).
+===== History =====
+According to Peter Brewer's PhD project first year report (November 2001),
+ILDIS (Bisby //et al//. 2000, 2001)
+began in 1985 (Zarucchi //et al//., 1993)
+and was (at version 5 in 2001) "nearing completion".
+The 5th ILDIS Workshop was held at Reading (17-18 November 2005)
+immediately following
+the 7th UK Legume Workshop held at Kew (15 November 2005).
+==== Descendants ====
+ILDIS was one of the first two or three Global Species Databases (GSDs) contributing to the [[https://catalogueoflife.org|Catalogue of Life]].
-The [[https://ildis.org/index.shtml|original ILDIS web-site]] is still available,
+===== References =====
-but pages will gradually be transferred to the wiki.
