+If you or your organisation would like to take responsibility for the domain name

+====== ILDIS (International Legume Database and Information Service) ======
+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,
-and pages will gradually be transferred to this wiki.
+but will not be updated.
-You can continue to bookmark ''https://ildis.org'', as the URL has not changed.
+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]].
