Evaluate module standards for tripal core

[bradfordcondon]

see: https://github.com/statonlab/hardwoods_site/issues/469

What needs to be done fro this module for gold standards?

• This is mostly fields so unit testing is hard.
• License
• releases
• Do any of the fields need to be customizable?
• Query, QueryOrder, elementInfo, web services...

so whats missing:

• Drupal naming on branches/releases.
• double check all cvterms are added in the install.
  • the sequence features terms are WIP so might not be present...
• Unit testing . (too hard for fields!)
• T3 fields need web services, elementinfo, query, etc implemented
