The document discusses the eMonocot Scratchpads project, which aims to tailor the Scratchpads content management system to better meet the needs of botanists working with monocot taxa. Some key features of the eMonocot Scratchpads include importing taxonomy from the World Checklist of Monocots, customized views for taxon pages, and additional fields to accommodate data that does not fit existing standards. The project also incorporates improvements planned for the Scratchpads 2.0 release, such as guided data import workflows and new species page designs.
