<div>Hi all again,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I just <span id="54529fac-505d-4585-b68f-30b5db573c26" class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark">realised</span> I haven't introduced myself. I am Burke Chih-Jen Ko, Informatics Liaison from the GBIF Secretariat. I am from TaiBIF, the Taiwanese node of GBIF, and I <span id="ce33a33a-a41c-4334-be3b-a5c4aa773915" class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark">joined</span> the Secretariat since 2011.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My next steps are to start to populate the project wiki <span id="faf2d85e-da58-45d9-9da5-b25b850ad577" class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark">on</span> <a href="http://dev.gbif.org/wiki/display/ALA" target="_blank">
http://dev.gbif.org/wiki/display/ALA</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'll approach things in this order:</div>
<div> i) Defining the wiki structure and creating stub pages</div>
<div> ii) Documenting the installation procedure </div>
<div> iii) Documenting the general high level software architecture and how the components relate</div>
<div> iv) Basic tutorials on how to load and index data</div>
<div> v) A basic tutorial of how someone might start to restyle the vanilla application (basic intro only)</div>
<div> vi) A guide on how to build the components from source code</div>
<div> vii) FAQ</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I would be very happy to receive <span id="18f6254e-3ed7-4714-96ac-96b2b6c2463f" class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark">assistant</span> in any or all of this, and for others to help provide documentation on more advanced topics, such as using a different taxonomic backbone.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As we progress, I will work with the ALA to try and ensure outdated documentation that exists on other wikis are deprecated and we start to build a comprehensive and accurate set of instructions.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'll be working approximately 2 days a week on helping shape up the ALA documentation.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Looking forward to working with you all.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best wishes,</div>
<div><br>
