planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: use an open circle ◦ instead of a bullet • for tasks that are performed by someone other than me, so that these don't count towards the bullets (estimated workload) in each week

planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: datasource validations (spot-checking): split each datasource into subtasks and scheduled them

planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: moved "move denormalized validations to stage II", "move stage III validations to stage II" outside of "switching to new-style import" because the "switching to new-style import" step refers just to the per-datasource switching steps, not to the additional refactorings that would be needed to avoid dependency on the complex XPath mappings (mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv)

planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: datasource validations (spot-checking): added subtasks for each of the remaining datasources (wiki.vegpath.org/2013-10-17_conference_call#validation-order)

planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: moved non-validation-related tasks after the 10/31 deadline so that these are not taking time away from the validation

planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: moved "flatten the datasources to a common schema" under "simplify process of mapping/adding a new datasource" because this is also needed separately for datasources where the left-joining is not part of the validation

planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: extended "revisions to VegBIEN schema" to length of "datasource validations (spot-checking)" because schema changes are expected as we add missing fields

planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: crossed out and hid completed tasks ("find out amount remaining in BIEN3 budget")

planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: datasource validations (spot-checking): extended through the end of November because data providers' fixes on the remaining 10 datasources (wiki.vegpath.org/2013-10-17_conference_call#validation-order) are likely to add significantly to the issues and feature requests associated with these datasources (e.g. the 2nd-round VegBank validation added 4 issues and 5 feature requests). there is also expected to be wait time while data providers are responding (most likely in multiple rounds of feedback).

planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: data provider metadata: removed "iPlant can do" because this actually requires Brad/Brian/Bob/other data providers to provide this info. however, this info may be findable on the web for some datasources.
