Oops, I now see that Teresa had already created a folder for us back when we got started.
The doc I spoke of is now in that folder. Find it under
Shared with me / TDWG_MaterialSample / Organism Occurrence MaterialSample
Cheers,

While I do appreciate the agility of Google Docs I would like to suggest to at least consider the possibility of using the repository itself for generating documents. The possibility to maintain different versions of a document to pursue different ideas or work on specific parts of a document (via branches) and for establishing consensus (via merge requests) with the ability to link to issues and document the process directly is a plus from my point of view. There is a learning curve to using the repo like this, but git / GitHub is very well equipped to do this.

I disagree, Christian. It is actually quite a pain to work that way, and will be an obstacle for some, which is not particularly fair.

I think developing or maintaining the documentation in the GitHub a good suggestion, but perhaps after we get some larger decisions made, like the basic structure -- what content should be in which files -- and also when things slow down. I have always had difficulties with simultaneous edits on GitHub. I'll be happy to move this into the repo after people have had a chance to bash make some edits or suggestions.
I hope we can talk about this at our next meeting.
