recover gracefully from taxon match failure #307

Open arlin opened 6 years ago

if OT taxon matching is unresponsive, I get an unstructured list and no opportunity to go forward with it.

At the very least, we need to tell the user that the current list is a dead end, and the only way to recover is to try again at a later time.

Alternatively, separate out the workflow steps so that the unmatched names are saved, and matching can be re-started.

I'm not sure which is better. The second one may introduce some complications.

Message says "We extracted some names from your resource: ... But we could not resolve any of them ... Please leave a message in Feedback".

Change this to "We extracted names from the source but taxon name resolution failed. Please try again in an hour, and if the problem persists, leave us Feedback."
