<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">My immediate practical concern is that I am creating slides for various conference presentations and it is awkward to link to the official pages such as the TDWG AC page [1] or
the list of standards [2] that indicate a non-DRAFT status.<br>
<br>
Further investigation shows that maybe I just need to use the Audubon Core Term List document in the wiki [3] when I am sharing info about AC to the world?<br>

<div>Hi Dan,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for your offer. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As far as I recall, the TDWG executive decided at the last meeting to move onto a whole new platform and put contractor money aside to make it happen.</div>
<div>I’m reluctant to point you at the tangled mess of the current system when I suspect it is to be replaced anyway. It really is a convoluted mess of Typo3 plugins, which try and keep a bunch of backend systems in sync and dues to bugs in there it does not
work as expected. I really don’t think it is something you want to get into, but I sympathise that the TDWG site is broken and no-one is maintaining it… a simpler vanilla CMS solution that even requires more manual text editing etc. will be a far more manageable
solution in my opinion.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>@TDWG Executive folks - </b>is it still the intention to contract out and do a basic CMS site? </div>
<div>If not, I’ll try and pull up the code but I’d need your approval to get him a DB dump as it holds user credentials / subscriptions etc. Please can you advise us? Anything we can do to help?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Tim</div>

<blockquote type="cite">I see in the tdwg-tag mailing list archives that the status of the Audubon Core Standard has been discussed recently:<br>

<br>
<br>
So consider this another poke about getting the web site updated with the official status of the Standard. <br>
<br>
If there is anything I can do to facilitate the web site update, please let me know (as in, I am volunteering to hack code or whatever is needed).<br>
<br>

Thanks,<br>
