The Encyclopedia of Life is keenly interested in using Drupal to allow participants the opportunity to carve off branches from the tree of life to start biologically meaningful social interactions among like-minded individuals. To really make use of Drupal, we're keen on improving the taxonomy module and we're also keen on developing several other modules to really make this work. The advancements made in the taxonomy module will no doubt be useful for many other projects that make heavy use of taxonomy.
So, to kick-off our relationship with Drupal, we will be hosting a code sprint at the Field Museum in Chicago September 8-11. Please spread the word and also visit http://sprint.eol.org to see what we have in store for participants.
Space will be limited so please hurry!
Let's hope this can kick-start lots of great things to come.
