Meeting Nov. 9--Wheeler, Regetz, Schildhauer

Matt working on VegX implementation for "plots" structures in BIEN3
Is problem that VegX cannot accommodate specimen/occurrence info-- needs to be assoc with "plot"

vegBank model is complex-- Matt needs to work forward with VegX

Matt's main goal is to get BIEN2 plot data into BIEN3-- ind and agg plot obs, but Specimen obs are problem. Migrating with SQL statements on BIEN2 that create VegX docs, and then import to BIEN3. Are 250K taxon names (cleansed) in BIEN3 at this time. Are now working on bringing in actual plot/occurrrence stuff.

NZ sample data was only simple test data-- four plots with small no. obs.

Matt to put data model png on redmine. Are djangomodels.py, or ERD static graphic.

Nimoy came down over weekend due to memory leak (explains Donahue complaint)

Set up accounts for me, Jim, etc to use pgadmin/psql

Get all code into main SVN

Is system backed up?
