+ implementation in Kepler)
+ ** Design for those bugs(Collaboration diagram and class diagram design).

+
+ !! Dave Thau
+
+ Completed tasks/bugs fixed
+
+ * Created and vetted initial basic feature set for Taxon LSID server
+
+ Current Work and Bugs
+
+ * Working on bug #1597 - the intial user management for the taxon server.
+ * Getting current taxon server to work on my local box for testing purposes
+
+ Significant issues
+
+ Is there any centralization of user management across SEEK, or any
+ standard information about users we want to maintain? Should I use LDAP,
+ or something like that, or just maintain taxon server specific user
+ information. Seems like the latter is fine - people contributing
+ taxonomic concepts may not care about the rest of SEEK, so shouldn't
+ necessarily be burdened by a SEEK-wide user management system. However,
+ it'd be good to collect and name contact information similarly across
+ SEEK. I'm going to start with the sorts of contact information used in
+ the Darwin Core.
