British Ornithologists' Union checklists

The British Ornithologists' Union checklists are a series of books published by the British Ornithologists' Union (BOU) and (from 2003) jointly with the British Ornithologists' Club (BOC) documenting the status of bird in various regions of the world. Each volume contains a systematic list of bird species recorded in the area. In many cases the BOU checklist was the first such work for the country in question.

gollark: Also, possibly partly due to point 3, many (dynamic) languages actually implement YAML parsing in a way which allows arbitrary code execution by default. I think Python's yaml library does it unsafely by default (EDIT: see here: https://www.arp242.net/yaml-config.html though PyYaml at least appears to be changing this now).
gollark: It's not simple. The standard is extremely complex and there are something like nine ways to do multiline strings.
gollark: You might need to enable WAL mode.
gollark: It can do simultaneous reads fine as far as I know.
gollark: SQLite is surprisingly good for at least small projects which don't need to run multiple writes at once.
