This website is not the entry point for the database

It is that place to go to find out information about our progress on the project and, eventually, it will be one way to access it.

MBSP Open Working Group Meetings. We have begun bi-weekly open working group meetings to engage the research community and other interested parties in the development of the microbialites database. These meetings are held every other Friday, 10-11:00 a.m., Central Standard Time (UTC -6). We hold them at this time so that we can accommodate work schedules for much of the EU, Africa, and the Western Hemisphere. Apologies to our Asian and Aussie colleagues, but it's pretty hard to find a global time to meet. Click on "Working Group" in the menu to get minutes and to watch recordings of these meetings.

Moving project management to the Basecamp app. We have created a Basecamp site to use as the main project management application for this project. This is where we are housing documents about the code, governance, data ingestion policies, controlled vocabulary, and more, before we make them public on the main web application. If you are interested in having access to this application and our site, please contact us and we can add you to it.
