Kevin et al,

I think there are many people still subscribed to this list (http://usobi.org/archives/index.html indicates that TDWG-SDD has 109 subscribers). Go ahead and assume that anyone who is NOT still interested will unsubscribe themselves. The rest are here to listen, learn, and participate as we can.

I'm not sure what you mean by "fell over". I don't think there were any technical problems, only a shortage of energy and time.

I think we still have a good mix of technical and biological skills represented in the membership. Your suggestion to focus on requirements is a good one. Your draft looks like a good start.

Thanks for reviving the list,
