ALLIUM PORTAL (WEB SITE) Proposal
January 20, 2012

Problem: The Allium Research Community, Growers and Industry lack access to a central web resource related to education and research venues such as the National Allium Research Conference (NARC), W1008/W2008 Activities, USDA-SCRI and Other National Onion Project Progress. Currently, there are bits and pieces of information available at various web sites hosted by a few university and/or industry sources with limited resources and personnel; and often only temporarily with limited if any archival and search access. Hosts of biennial meetings like NARC have to inefficiently re-create program efforts (e.g., registration, abstracts, proceedings, mailing lists) every other year. Solution: creation of a new web-based site that will provide a more unified resource in support of the Education and Research needs of the U.S. allium industry and research / extension community.
