A few words on the NPT Advisory Group workshop

The first NPT-AG workshop was hosted by Francisco Pando, GBIF-ES, at the Real Jardin Botanico, Madrid, SPAIN, 4-6 March 2011.
The workshop was intended to be as participative as possible, with constant feedback from participants, and using collaborative reporting and brainstorming tools, such as Google Documents, Mindmaps, Mockups. This approach helped delineating the needs for the NPT and identify priorities, resulting in a set of realistic functionalities for the NPT.
The meeting ended with a final sprint, during which the NPT-AG drafted a first version of the NPT scoping and functionalities document. This document will soon be circulated via the NPT Google Code site.
