[tdwg-tapir] Release of "TapirBuilder" tool (now hosted on the TDWG site)

[Lee Belbin]

Thanks Franck. The highlight of the Gordon and Betty Moore funded project
was the joy of giving funds to great people for work that resulted in
obvious benefit to a broad community. I wish I had more money to give away.

Best Wishes

Thanks Lee and Renato, it was a very valuable experience for me and my team
and we learnt a lot both technically and about the way to contribute to
community projects. TAPIR is now embedded in a suite of tools and libraries
which will improve its interoperability with other protocols and the
development of extensions or modules based on the existing TAPIR providers.

I must also say that the initial description of the awaited product that we
received was pretty clear and has greatly facilitated the implementation of
the tool.

Cheers,
Franck

I would echo Renato's thanks to you Franck. Nice to see another TAPIR tool
out there for people to use!

Many thanks

Dear Franck,

I would like to say thanks again (now in public) for all your work 
and also for TDWG's support.

These tools are an enormous help in creating XML files that are 
crucial for TAPIR (Javier was quite right about this when he 
suggested this kind of development during the last TAPIR meeting). 
No one deserves to edit XML by hand...

I'll find some time during the next weeks to update the network 
builder's guide making references to these new tools.

Many thanks,

Renato
