Dear colleagues

I am running late with working through the SDD development from Brazil. I spent most available time this week, but that was not enough.

However, a valid xml schema and example document is now available (sorry Bob, the one I emailed you wasn't!) and I have the minutes 90% done and have uploaded all to the SDD site (http://160.45.63.11/Projects/TDWG-SDD/index.html).

The first pages and all links are checked and readable. However, at some point I have put in a marker, so that if you don't have to, refrain from reading on. There should be a better version after the weekend for you.

Thanks, I look forward to the meeting in Paris. I am drawing up an agenda of what I consider priorities, but please contact me with the things you think should be done first.
