introduction

Le serveur Ghini, ça c’est un logiciel AGPL, à l’aide des botanistes professionelles et non, pour partager information, en forme de images de plantes, localisation des observations, identifications taxonomique.

Ghini server follows established best practices for botanical collections, so that it can successfully be used by botanical institutions needing a strong database foundation.

The combination ghini.server + ghini.web is the natural successor of ghini.desktop, a GPL desktop program. Even if the interface are very similar, they are based on different technologies, and are not compatible at the database level. There might come a ghini.desktop version compatible with ghini.server.

showcasing

Ghini server’s initial goal is to showcase itself in the form of geographic botanical collections. If you have a use case and want to participate, please contact the Ghini team. As of now, there’s the following projects:

• cuaderno, a botanist’s collection handbook.
• almaghreb, plantes sauvages de la région du Atlas.
• tanager, a small privately held botanical garden. The data in the database is by far not the complete garden’s collection.
• caribe, wild plants in the Caribbean Area.

Participants get access to ghini’s editing facilities and the django admin interface to the database, while anonymous visitors can browse and query the data from the ghini interface.
