OK guys and gals, here's an update!
A ton of progress has been made so far! The wiki is installed and is being populated with help topics, templates, task lists, guides to getting started with the wiki, and etc. things along those regards - in addition to a few pages on specific banana genera, banana species, and banana cultivars.
The map function seems very promising, it's also been installed. I'm spending a bit of time on this integration so that hopefully we can get it where its really easy for folks to add their markers to the maps to show if they are growing a particular banana, and where they are located.

As far as the data rollout, please get me your datasets as soon as you can. I've spoken with a few people that (understandably) need some time to prepare them, and I've also had some sent over already. If you are planning to submit some info for the initial rollout, please get it to me asap, it would really help.

I'd like to extend a special thanks to Ty Strode and Randy Strode at Agristarts for allowing us permission to use text from their database of bananas and incorporate into our wiki. They've spent a great deal of time gathering this info. Allowing it to be disseminated on our site is very kind of them.
