Matt,
 
 
Per our discussion about preproposal rounds coming in January, I think we should have a dense paragraph ready for use by potential collaborators. It should be in the wiki. Here's a first stab at an outline.
 
 
• TaxonWorks, the new standard for taxonomic workbench tools
 
• Why TaxonWorks
 
o stable endowment supported
 
o Unified workbench (specimens, character matrices, keys, publication ready output) concept: Species File, MX, 3i
 
o Software group of Illinois Natural History Survey, University of Illinois
 
o Built in a collaborative Ruby codebase
 
o 6 full time staff for development, debugging, hardware maintenance
 
o Meets current data standards (DwC, TDWG…)
 
o Internet based
 
o Global data sharing: CoL, GBIF (DwC-A), ITIS, EoL
 
• Provide MX for short-term use
 
• Migrate to TaxonWorks in 2015
