Hi

Yes I still exist...I've been hiding away in my openModeller Desktop
code and have about 3 weeks email backlog to catch up on :-(

I think there are some minor tweaks to the actual app we need to sort too:

- gbif data portal is changing (rest services are going live) and the
new url will be data.gbif.org
- nusoap issue on doing getLayers
- check why model resutls weret displaying
- general clean up of any cruft
- sort out missing bits in installation procedure
- doxygen docs for all classes

How about we try to dedicate a day this week to 'triage' the remaining
issues I listed above? Would be good ot sort them out along with the
report.

Ah - time travel :-) 12 July I guess?

I'm happy for you to go there just try not to mention how many
coconuts we drank during the code fest....

Remember those gambling houses use advanced algorithms to make sure

I think a repeat along the lines of the final presentation you gave to
Sidnei, Dora and Vanderlei would be good.
