27 Feb '17

Hi everyone, A brief reminder to participate in the public review <https://github.com/tdwg/vocab/blob/master/README.md> for the Vocabulary documentation and maintenance standards - as announced with the TDWG Announcements newsletter last week. The Documentation Specification will proscribe the format of human- and machine-readable documents that form TDWG (vocabulary) standards. The Vocabulary Maintenance Specification proscribes the process by which TDWG vocabularies will be modified and amended. https://github.com/tdwg/vocab/blob/master/README.md Please submit any comments, questions, or criticisms as "issues" in the issue tracker. If you would like to register an issue anonymously, please send it via email to the review manager, Dag Endresen <dag.endresen(a)gmail.com?subject=Issue%20with%20Vocabulary%20standards>. Public review will be open at least through March 27th, and may be extended if a valuable discussion is on-going. https://github.com/tdwg/vocab/issues (sorry for cross-posting)
