Updates

Bat data
1993 bats missing. Thought we had all MSW, but do not. Should have all data in by end of this week. Import data works - have done ITIS. MSW is unique - needs a little massaging to get in. Think we have another source for 1993 bats data.

Kepler actor
Stub actor is done, but waiting until TOS is fully functioning. Will be only 3 lines of code. New Kepler feature freeze is Feb 28 - Mar, April documentation and testing. May 1 is drop-dead deadline. TOS will be finished long before that. Some confusion about Matt's understanding of our Kepler actor. Will clear that up.

EML
Extending for concepts. Discussed over dinner at GUID meeting. Matt, Jessie and Bob have been emailing about this. Decent progress has been made.

5th International S Ecological Informatics Conference
Abstract deadline Feb28. Aravind has submitted abstract. http://www.isei5-conference.elsevier.com/index.htm. Jessie will contact Bill and see what/how many might be accepted from this group.

All hands meeting
May 1-5. NSF Review will be May 4. Probably 8-9 independent reviewers + NSF officers. Jim proposes that we have 3-4 representatives from Taxon for each sub-group - just need to make the presentation coherent. Stinger agrees that this will address NSF's concern for multiple groups working together rather than one group taking the bulk of the work/responsibility.

Xianhua - bats data 1993 and 2005 into ConceptMapper. Will send KU data in TCS (esp. '93)
