Hi there Colleagues

Yes, I'm also still out here too & am still very interested in 'listening to' & contributing to the requirements analysis. While I work on aspects of data curation for corn/maize (Zea mays L.) there is a rapidly growing need for interoperability between databases of various kinds (regarding taxon composition & data composition) - this is one of the 'coal faces' I'm working with right now. So thanks for getting the pot stirred again. I'll try & contribute when possible. The goal of this interaction is exciting (if not pretty formidable).

Yes, I'm still out here, I'm a taxonomist and I'm still interested in contributing to the requirements analysis.
