Dear Lee-

Congrats on the TDWG mailing list being resuscitated! On a non-conference related note, I was wondering if you think it would be appropriate to post the message below to the TDWG mailing list?

Many thanks,

After a successful private beta, the Encyclopedia of Life (EOL) development team is ready to open up testing of the new (and improved) EOL API to a larger community of testers in advance of its general release.

The testing period will run from August 12 to September 2.  If you would like to participate in this beta program, please review the terms of the beta test at http://www.eol.org/content/page/beta_api.  From this page, you will be able to access API documentation, review test plans and provide feedback.

If you have questions about the beta test, or would like to open a direct line of communication to the EOL development team, please contact us at api@eol.org. 

Please share this message as you see fit.  Thank you in advance for your contributions.  We are looking forward to working with you!

Best regards,
