Yep, I would like to keep the mailing list up and running.
Don't know if the project is sufficiently far advanced to warrant the two sub lists (-tech and -data).
In my mind the project is still going its just taken a long time
for me to find time to do work on it.
What I've not done is any spec for that actual data to be recorded
about any particular plant. I feel that this is really for
the discussion of the group rather something to be imposed. Hence
I've concentrated on what might be the core underlying framework
which allows others to really develop the data structure.
We've also been in discussion in PFAF about our licensing policy
and every one seems to like the two path development, where
we have one path completely open source (with some restrictions
on selling our data) which would be the pcplantdb, the other path is
a commercial product (with pictures added) to raise some money
for our project. Upshot of this is its looking more likely for
a basic dataset to get pcplantdb up and running.
Unfortunately, I have not had time to get the basic framework running
on the metalab machines so you can't yet see what I've done so far.
I'll have another stab at getting the working system up and running in the next couple of days. Very very draft, be warned.
