[tdwg-content] Completion of Audubon Core public review

[Steve Baskauf]

More than the minimum 30 days required for the public review of Audubon 
Core have passed and I've received comments from everyone who told me 
that they planned to comment.  I am therefore closing the public review 
period.  The review guidelines at  
http://www.tdwg.org/fileadmin/documentation/guidance_docs/ReviewManagerGuidelines.doc 
require that Public Review comments be visible to all.  Since many of 
the comments I received were emailed directly to me rather than to the 
tdwg-content list or posted on the Issues Tracker, I've posted a digest 
of the comments at 
http://code.google.com/p/auduboncore/wiki/RecordOfPublicReview for 
public inspection.

As a result of these comments, a number of issues have been opened by 
commenters or by me based on the submitted comments.  These issues can 
be viewed at the Audubon Core Issue Tracker 
http://code.google.com/p/auduboncore/issues/list

I would like to thank everyone who took the time to read the 
specification and comment.  I think that the standard will be 
strengthened based on your comments and look forward to working with the 
authors to implement many of your suggestions.
