Make sure all IG have a GitHub repo

[peterdesmet]

Below are the interest groups for which the conveners presented conclusions at the closing session of the TDWG 2016 conference. All of these need a space on GitHub to collaborate. I'm tracking the status of this task in this issue.

• Annotations: https://github.com/tdwg/annotations
• Attribution: (repo still private)
• Citizen science: no charter yet
• Curriculum: https://github.com/tdwg/curriculum
• Darwin Core: https://github.com/tdwg/dwc task group
• Data quality: https://github.com/tdwg/bdq
• Interactions: no charter yet
• Invasive species: https://github.com/tdwg/gisin should become a task group
• Natural Collection Descriptions:
• Paleobiology: https://github.com/tdwg/paleo
• RDF task group: https://github.com/tdwg/rdf task group
• Species information: move PlinianCore under TDWG
• Services: pending
• TAG: pending
• Vocab maintenance: https://github.com/vocab task group

@jmacklin, is this "Services" already an IG (with a charter) and is there need for a repo?

[peterdesmet]

@jmacklin, seems there is: http://www.tdwg.org/activities/biodiversity-services-clients/charter/. So, is there a need for a repo?

[peterdesmet]

Hi @debpaul, you presented Software Carpentry at closing session. Is this an interest group and would you need a repo under TDWG?

[peterdesmet]

@ghwhitbread does TAG need a repo or does the current mailing list suffice?

[debpaul]

Hi Peter, No, we're not an IG - we were asked to share feedback b/c local hosts and TDWG were prominent in asking for this workshop - and making it possible :-) Deb Sent from shoe (iPhone)

[peterdesmet]

@debpaul great, I'll remove it from the above list then. 🇨🇷

[ghwhitbread]

@peterdesmet Yes please Peter, TAG will need at least one repos for business and perhaps a second for public access. TAG mail list seems to have more members than TDWG.

[peterdesmet]

@ghwhitbread bread, so at least one private repo?

[ghwhitbread]

@peterdesmet Yes. Private repo for TAG.

[peterdesmet]

@ghwhitbread done! You should have received an invitation through email.

Hi @peterdesmet ,

Regarding the Species information: IG, and after ite IG meeting at TDWG2016, this is what is needed:

A repository for the IG, that it is titled as "TSI" (TDWG Specied Information IG http://www.tdwg.org/activities/species-information/charter/)

A repository for Plinian Core, that now becomes a TG under the TSI IG; the two current repositores (sources & documentation) to be merged in one).

The old "Invasive Species Interest Group (ISIG)", becomes a TG under the TSI, and a repository for this is needed. I assume that Annie Simpson (convener) has talked to you about it

I guess you have to invite me to those repositories to start populating them...

As for reporting, following TAG makes sense to me.

Thanks

Hi @PacoPando, I've created a separate issue for moving the PlinianCore to TDWG: #82 Thus, for this issue remains:

• Creating TSI IG repo. Was there a consensus on using TSI? species-information might be more straightforward...
• Maybe create an ISIG repo: not 100% sure this is needed. Most (all?) work for this group will be on GISIN, which has its repo at: https://github.com/tdwg/gisin @as6699, what do you think?
