Communication Tools Platform¶
The current issues regarding the implementation of a first prototype can be followed and discussed here.
I hope, Malte can setup a preliminary discussion forum related to this topic.
It is planned, to get a dedicated server to develop the communication tools platform within the next weeks. I think, it would make sense to move this forum and all documentation related to the platform as soon as possible to the server.

setup their own little website about the organism, members, contact etc.
run a forum to debate about images, characters, taxa, distribution
run the calendar
have a comments system for anything, e.g. images
have a maintained software base for the site
