Agenda

Progress report

Big Trees:

• John Cazes offered to check with Robert McLay to push WINDJAMMER manuscript

• Pam & Doug might have dataset for Robert to use fro a WINDJAMMER publication

• Publication in Advances in Bioinformatics (but Todd Vision avise against because the publisher is known for starting low quality publications)

Perpetually updating tree:

• Testing big data sets

• Need service to subset tree programmatically

TNRS

• Discussion with GNA (Dmtry Mozzherin, David Shorthouse), see report

• TNRS 3.0 code complete ETA: April 30th

TR

• Ready to load test data in DB, services + GUI still need to be updated (est. Apr 23rd)

• Additional sources: IPNI/Plant List would be nice, but other strategy is to go for high quality content (Monographs, floras and checklists)

My-Plant

• Re-invigoration strategy: broader base (i.e. not only phylogeneticists) + more dynamic content. Shannon to help with content.

• Suggestion: Linking with Open ToL (Doug and Karen) and possibly TNRS

TreeViz

• Naim, Dan, Steve and Karen to have a meeting on April 12th. Dan identified a possible developer at TACC.

• Work to be done: mapping interface (could be connected to analyses) and aesthetics (+ tweaks)

• Could be base for Open ToL Viz.
