Here are the notes from today's ToLWeb teleconference:

We encourage everyone to take a look at the whitepaper:

particularly with respect to the expected outcomes and encouraging participation (before, during and after the stakeholders meeting). We hope to submit this to NESCent by the end of the month. We'll be having another teleconference next Friday. 

Thanks!
Karen

I made quite a few additions and revisions to this part.  I still think the proposal is too long and its largely my fault, but it would be hard for me to cut at this point-- someone would have to hold a metaphorical gun to my head, or maybe even a real gun, in order for me to do that.  

Anyway, I thought that it was sufficiently far along to ask David Maddison to take a final look at it and give us some comments.

Thanks!

Hi All,


I added this paragraph (below) to the white paper to describe existing
and previous
collaborations. If I missed you, I am sorry. Also apologies about
increasing document length.

Best,
Sheldon

Many of the authors of this whitepaper have previous and existing
collaborative relationships. For example Cellinese, Cranston, Lapp,
McKay, Pontelli and Stoltzfus form the EvoIO consortium, which
submitted and NSF INTEROP proposal for "A network for enabling
community-driven standards to link evolution into the global web of
data (http://www.evoio.org/wiki/Main_Page#The_EvoIO_NSF_Interop_Proposal)
and organized the successful phyloinformatics VoCamp in 2009
(http://evoio.org/wiki/VoCamp1). Piel, Stolzfus, Vos and Pontelli are
members of the original evolutionary informatics (EvoInfo) working
group. Webb is a participant of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Website
(http://www.mobot.org/MOBOT/research/APWeb/) and is collaborating with
McKay on the APWEB2 project
(https://pods.iplantcollaborative.org/wiki/display/iptol/AP_Project_Charter).
Cranston, Piel, Webb, Vos, and McKay are all members of the iPlant
collaborative (iptoL.iplantcollaborative.org), working on aspects of
the iPlant tree of life project such as phylogenetic data
interoperability, dynamic tree vizualization and education, outreach
and training.
