-
Encyclopedia Of Life (EOL) sponsored the sprint and has many interests in making Taxonomy and related modules better for scientific purposes, in particular for their upcoming Lifedesk sites which will enable knowledgeable people to "produce information that is scientifically vetted for inclusion in the EOL, ... to create taxa-centric communities ... a place to store and organize information they and other people in their community collect. Each LifeDesk will be linked to the EOL so that the vetted content can be easily integrated onto EOL species pages."

David Shorthouse organized the sprint and leads the EOL LifeDesk project.

Benjamin Melançon of Agaric Design Collective came with many hopes for and dealings with taxonomy (Place, Community Managed Taxonomy, and the long-since eclipsed initial commit of Edit Term). One of Agaric's newest and most favorite projects is working on the Scientific Collaboration Framework (SCF). It will be a set of modules and a distribution of Drupal to make scientific collaboration richer, more widespread, and more accessible. The first public site using SCF is StemBook.org. Benjamin is excited by the prospect of collaboration among scientists and developers working on better ways to collaborate... featuring Drupal and the taxonomy module.
-
Nathaniel Catchpole, Drupal core patch writer and reviewer extraordinaire, proposed a series of improvements to Taxonomy module (and had no idea he was just scratching the surface).
-
Benjamin Doherty is author of Article Manager 2 Import.
-
Vince Smith leads the Scratchpad project at the Natural History Museum London, which makes heavy use of the Taxonomy module. He made a series of initial recommendations for the taxonomy Drupal sprint and provided the some of the biological use cases during the event. You can find more info in his <a http://www.slideshare.net/vsmithuk/taxonomy-and-scratchpads-presentation/">initial presentation given during the Sprint.
