An idea! An article per diptera family where keys that are avaliable could be listed. If comments where allowed everybody could contribute ideas for books, articles, online sites, downloadable PDF:s, Delta keys etc etc ...

Strongly support this (but it is a lot to work on and involves repetition See Weblinks etc.). For my part I am working (with many others) on the Wikipedia pages to provide the lists you suggest and other information-see
http://en.wikiped...i/Sepsidae for an example. For other families go to
http://en.wikiped...of_Diptera.
These pages are copyright free and can be used by anyone or on any other site without restriction (GNU free licence) . Since the English language sites are international and eventually appear in simplified form in many languages the id lterature listed is for World Fauna.As the sites are expertised I link through to them via the vernacular names in the Diptera.info Glossary.
