Todo by maintenance team of this standard #1

There is currently no maintenance team for this standard. Here are just some things that popped in my head that need to be done for WGSRPD:

  1. Write better README:
    • Not linking out to Hunt Institute or KEW for getting ArcGIS files
    • Adding a Brummit suggested citation for the standard.
  2. Designating what is the normative file and how the standard is versioned (following the SDS and VMS from https://github.com/tdwg/vocab)
  3. Avoiding distributing the standard in proprietary formats such as ArcGIS and Access, but choose e.g. txt and geojson only.
  4. Structuring the repo better: e.g. version 1 and 2 are both in the historical folder 109-488-1-ED. It would be better to have one directory per version at a root level. Or to use version history for creating versions.

Agree to all above, Peter. I have created seperate issues #2, #3 & #4 for above so we can discuss these and mark progress independently
