[tdwg-phylo] NSF INTEROP proposal

[Hilmar Lapp]

FYI, a group of collaborators (Arlin Stoltzfus, Karen Cranston,  
Sheldon McKay, Enrico Pontelli, Nico Cellinese, and myself) under the  
leadership of Arlin recently pulled together a grant application for  
the NSF Interop solicitation.

The ideas for the grant emerged mostly from the recent Database  
Interoperability Hackathon (for which I posted the announcement and  
Call for Participation here back in Jan). Proposal summary and full  
text are public at the following URL:

http://evoinfo.nescent.org/NSF_Interop_Proposal

It was submitted July 22. If funded, TDWG and this Interest Group will  
play a significant role in the proposed activities.

We probably won't hear about reviews or funding before Feb/March next  
year, so keep fingers crossed until then.

Cheers,
