Agreed. I posted this proposal a while ago: Create an “identification center” with guides, curated subcategories, events, and more and I continue to believe that creating a dedicated section for training, support, and community for identifiers would increase the number of identifiers of all levels many times over. The information is there, the willingness of people to help with this is there, the interest in becoming an identifier is easily triggered in many observers… we just need to give all of this a good structure.
