There are unused templates and deprecated scripts around. Best to cleanup after #1.

...or, in any case, make sure the old links in the right hand menus are fixed.

See - http://mx.phenomix.org/index.php/Main_Page

I wonder if we shouldn't mention it anymore, or say it's deprecated.

Page stored at http://nexml.github.io/manual is missing. 404 error is returned.

The manual was drafted in 2011 and needs an update. Here is a preliminary list of things to do. Updates and suggestions are welcome.

Informational updates

• Check and update links
• Update list of applications that support NeXML for input or output
• Update list of databases and repositories that support NeXML for upload or download
  • add Open Tree
  • add some stuff from Kew Gardens
• Update list of programming APIs
  • Clarify status of NCL support

Code examples

• check code examples (dendropy update breaks at least one example)

New content

• add a discussion of NeXSON
• provide a list of practical examples of metadata annotation

http://nexml.github.io/doc/schema-1/ says - 'NeXML 0.9 schema documentation' after breadcrumbs, but 'nexml schema 1.0' in browser's titlebar.

Same here - http://nexml.org/nexml/html/doc/schema-1/

Of course, the fix is easy. But which version?

The old site has documentation that is autogenerated from the schema files. We need to do the same here and (statically) host the result.

The validator and other shim/conversion services are going to be hosted at Naturalis. Links on the website will have to be updated once the URLs for these services will be known (most likely: nexml.naturalis.nl/phylows/validator.cgi and such).
