Hi Folks

The second GUID workshop is going to be hosted by eSI in Edinburgh June
10-12. As the details emerge, I'll add them to the Wiki-

http://wiki.gbif.org/guidwiki/wikka.php?wakka=GUID2Workshop

The current game plan is to derive a set of recommendations from the tasks
within the Infrastructure and Prototyping Working Groups. It would be good
if the Task Coordinators could circulate any recommendations (as dot points)
before June 3. This gives us a week for consideration.

The second workshop has 4 tasks-

1. Report findings

2. Refine recommendations

3. (Briefly) justify the recommendations (so that future readers could
follow the logic) and

4. Design an implementation plan.

I've been going through the tasks on the Wiki and note that 9 still do not
have a coordinator. A few have a coordinator, but either there hasn't been
any activity, or the Wiki hasn't been updated.

It would be good if the load could be spread as I know that everyone is busy
with their day job. If you know of someone who could advance any of the
tasks, please let them loose. Which of these tasks is a real priority and
which ones should be dropped or reduced?
