Introduction

This area of the documentation is a great place to start for an overview and
general introduction to the Indicia online recording toolkit.

Indicia provides the pieces you need to build online biological recording
websites. A toolkit that simplifies the construction of websites, Indicia
supports wildlife observation recording forms that are as simple or advanced as
you need and also allows photo upload, reporting, mapping and verification of
the records. Indicia is open source and community owned so any contributions you
make to the project will be made available to the entire biological recording
community.
