Description: http://www.gbif.org/resource/80980 links to an out-of-date version of the IPT User Manual on the Google code site. It should link to the latest version on https://github.com/gbif/ipt/wiki/IPT2ManualNotes.wiki
The citation and authors needs updating - see https://github.com/gbif/ipt/wiki/IPT2ManualNotes.wiki#citation
The Spanish version of the user manual http://www.gbif.org/resource/81194 needs the same set of updates. The Spanish version of the user manual is available here: https://github.com/gbif/ipt/wiki/IPT2ManualNotes_ES.wiki The major contributor to the latest version is missing from the contributors: Néstor Beltrán

Thanks for updating the link and citation. But I need to reopen the issue because the changes do not satisfy all the requirements detailed in the issue description and made changes not asked for:
* The citation points at an older version of the User Manual - please see the citation string I provided in the issue description.
* In the issue description, it was not instructed to append "many other members of the GBIF community" to the contributors list - please remove this.
* The Spanish version requires basically same set of updates. Note a list of contributors that should be recognised for translating User Manual for version 2.3 (Beltran, N. & Dean, V., trad.) can be found here: https://github.com/gbif/ipt/wiki/IPT2ManualNotes_ES.wiki#c%C3%B3mo-citar-este-manual
I'd also like to raise the question of whether we can assign DOIs to both the English and Spanish versions of the User Manual. This will avoid us from having to update the links in the future as we can always change the DOI's target URL should it change in the future. Thanks.
