There seems to be support for using GitHub for the standards themselves.
Other content could easily be supported via a MediaWiki installation. I
don't undertsand why we would want to continue with Typo3 - are there
reasons?

Hi Dan,
Thanks for your offer.
As far as I recall, the TDWG executive decided at the last meeting to
move onto a whole new platform and put contractor money aside to make
it happen.
I’m reluctant to point you at the tangled mess of the current system
when I suspect it is to be replaced anyway. It really is a convoluted
mess of Typo3 plugins, which try and keep a bunch of backend systems
in sync and dues to bugs in there it does not work as expected. I
really don’t think it is something you want to get into, but I
sympathise that the TDWG site is broken and no-one is maintaining
it… a simpler vanilla CMS solution that even requires more manual
text editing etc. will be a far more manageable solution in my
opinion.
@TDWG Executive folks - is it still the intention to contract out and
do a basic CMS site?
If not, I’ll try and pull up the code but I’d need your approval
to get him a DB dump as it holds user credentials / subscriptions etc.
Please can you advise us? Anything we can do to help?
Thanks,
Tim

I see in the tdwg-tag mailing list archives that the status of the
Audubon Core Standard has been discussed recently:
http://lists.tdwg.org/pipermail/tdwg-tag/2014-June/002558.html
So consider this another poke about getting the web site updated with
the official status of the Standard.
If there is anything I can do to facilitate the web site update,
please let me know (as in, I am volunteering to hack code or whatever
is needed).
Thanks,
