If we ever need a TDWG organization on GitHub, I reserved the name about a year ago: https://github.com/tdwg

Would a GitHub organization satisfy the requirements of the TDWG site?

Hi Dan,
Thanks for your offer.
As far as I recall, the TDWG executive decided at the last meeting to move onto a whole new platform and put contractor money aside to make it happen. I’m reluctant to point you at the tangled mess of the current system when I suspect it is to be replaced anyway. It really is a convoluted mess of Typo3 plugins, which try and keep a bunch of backend systems in sync and dues to bugs in there it does not work as expected. I really don’t think it is something you want to get into, but I sympathise that the TDWG site is broken and no-one is maintaining it… a simpler vanilla CMS solution that even requires more manual text editing etc. will be a far more manageable solution in my opinion.
@TDWG Executive folks - is it still the intention to contract out and do a basic CMS site? If not, I’ll try and pull up the code but I’d need your approval to get him a DB dump as it holds user credentials / subscriptions etc. Please can you advise us? Anything we can do to help?
Thanks, Tim

I see in the tdwg-tag mailing list archives that the status of the Audubon Core Standard has been discussed recently:
http://lists.tdwg.org/pipermail/tdwg-tag/2014-June/002558.html
So consider this another poke about getting the web site updated with the official status of the Standard.
If there is anything I can do to facilitate the web site update, please let me know (as in, I am volunteering to hack code or whatever is needed).
Thanks,
