Dear Taggers,
It is that time of year again when we turn our attention to the TDWG conference.
It is a requirement of the Technical Architecture Group to produce a Roadmap document that gives a vision of where we are and where we are going. A kind of high level overview.
Last year I printed this out and got it distributed in the conference pack and will consider doing the same again this year. I have to give a presentation near the beginning of the meeting and I intend this to be based of the Roadmap.
Whether or not you are attending the conference I would like to have your opinions and help in constructing this document. It is your chance to reflect what you think the true state of affairs are in the TDWG world and where you think things should go.
I have created a wiki page to author the document on here:
http://wiki.tdwg.org/twiki/bin/view/TAG/RoadMap2008
Please contribute directly to the wiki or comment back to the list.
I am considering having a section on 'Projects' that covers ALA, EoL, GBIF and others activities but am worried about missing projects off or how relevant this is. What do you think?
As always I am grateful for your thoughts,
Roger
