WP1: Project Management
The Management Committee is chaired by the leader of WP1, Dave Roberts, with one representative of each of the remaining Work Packages (WP2-8) plus the Project Co-ordinator (Vince Smith, NHM) plus the project administrator (Gemma Maldar, NHM) and will make decisions on the Network Activity and Joint Research Activity Work Packages (WP1-8).
A Work Package Leader is an individual appointed to represent those parties with responsibilities within that Work Package. Work Package leaders were identified during the project preparation and can be changed by agreement within the workpackage and with the agreement of the Management Committee.

D8.3 - A start-up portal for discovery of GBIF mediated data
The Nodes Portal Toolkit (NPT) Startup enables countries to establish a web presence with relevant biodiversity information from GBIF and EOL. The NPT Startup will be built on the ScratchPads platform, and will extend developments of ViBRANT to a broader context of the use of biodiversity data portals. The first version of the Nodes Portal Toolkit (NPT) Startup will be available as a Drupal profile accompanied with relevant documentation for use and further development. The NPT will be deployed in several countries within and outside Europe.
D8.2 - Analytical and reporting tools
The delivery of Analytical and reporting tools include two main software packages:
1) GeoCAT: This tool is designed to produce rapid species level conservation assessments based on IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria (IUCN 2001). Through an easy to use interface with a familiar Google Map underlay you can upload primary occurrence data for a species and at the click of a button calculate values relating to the geographic range of a species.

M8.18 - Scratchpads module for data recording (Citizen Science ) - Alpha version
Scratchpads module for data recording (Citizen Science ) - Alpha version
The delivery of this Milestone was postponed from the first semester of the third year of the project because it needs more time for collaboration with WP2. Migration from Drupal6 to Scratchpads2 requires additional effort both from WP8 and WP2 to deliver the Alpha version of the data recording module.
Alpha version is almost there. Needs a little work from NHM team. However, it is postponed in order to integrate the apps for the mobile phones.
