To-do list (agreed 25 Nov 2008)

Dec: Ole extends WTDB to group together parameter values obtained from one source. For example, several a and i values estimated in one paper.

Jan: Arnd enters WTDB data for Centaurea cyanus and Bromus sterilis

Jan: Denise enters WTDB data for one species, either Galinsoga parviflora or Avena fatua.

Jan: Marleen sends out common seed lots to all participants of phenology study.

Jan: Marleen writes protocol for phenology study.

Feb: Jon finds out how much RRES will be involved in the phenology study.

Feb: Jon writes protocol how to measure final weed height in different crops.
