Can we come up with a better (slightly more professional) name for this? Something we could refer to in grants?

| The purpose of the BrainGlobe atlas api has always been to standardise atlases and provide them to researchers via a common, easy to use, interface. As part of this initiative we have integrated atlases of all kinds, including atlases of bees, cuttlefish, mice, and more. The logical endpoint of all of this would be integrate _all_ existing 3D atlases into BrainGlobe. |

| While this may be a long process we have decided to start. First by creating a comprehensive list of all published non-human brain atlases which is available [here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18_ow4llQQVuwKu5WWM3PsZ1SjmeNYAhi6eENzhQRc40/edit?usp=sharing). This list is a work in progress and if you find an atlas which is not mentioned please open an issue on the [brainglobe-atlasapi](https://github.com/brainglobe/brainglobe-atlasapi/issues?q=sort%3Aupdated-desc+is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen) repository and we will be sure to add it. |

I would link to our issue tracker, filtered by new-atlas. We will likely not maintain this google sheet forever. This will also mean that people will see directly whether their atlas has been added, with better search.

This is cool, but I don't think it adds much, and it shows up poorly on mobile. I would replace it with a simple summary table.

| As always, if you would like to get involved with this project just get in touch with us! There are several ways to contribute including adding missing atlases to the list, helping with data standardisation, or contributing to integration and validationWe are available via GitHub issues and [zulip](https://brainglobe.zulipchat.com). |
