Hi Javier and everyone,

I'm getting a little nervous about our upcoming workshop.  I don't see that we have a plan, process, or goals in place and it's unclear to me how I fit in.  I've been busier than anticipated since TDWG (I'm sure that's true for everyone), and haven't been able to prepare like I wanted to. 

So, some questions:

• Do we have any documentation of our goals and how we can achieve them? 
  
• What projects to we expect to be mostly complete and ready to build upon?  Are they all ready? 
  
• How exactly do we plan to work together?  Huddle in a circle, everyone staring at their own laptops? 
  
• What do we expect to have at the end of the week? 
  
• What do we expect to present to TDWG 2007? 
  
• Can it be achieved in one week or will we need to continue working on it remotely? 
  
• Do participants have the ability to donate time after the workshop or will their efforts be supported by other projects?
