Re: [PyWrapper-devel] FW: Call: Taxonomic Data Provider Tool Developer

[Javier de la T. <ja...@gm...>]

Thats really cool!

I can not go for it, but I think this is definitely a great way of =20
improving pywrapper. Thanks Donald for this.

For you information there is also an open call from TDWG for meetings =20=

or projects related to TDWG standards, including TAPIR. The problem =20
is that the deadline is this wednesday... I didnt have time to pay =20
attention to this but I think a TAPIR developers meeting makes a lot =20
of sense... Who is interesting in joining us for this?

Javi.
