This section of the website is dedicated to providing updates about Symbiota.
Primary information on Symbiota can be found at Symbiota.org and updates to the software are at symbiota2.org and the Symbiota2 github site
The current production code for scan-bugs.org (SymbSCAN) is here: https://github.com/scan-bugs-org/scan. But we also incorporate updates from core Symbiota : https://github.com/Symbiota/Symbiota.
The biggest difference in the SCAN fork version is the use of Apache SOLR, which is optional for Symbiota itself. However, SCAN uses SOLR since the database is large enough that a caching mechanism in needed. It also allows us to run the Spatial Module.
