Thank you Tom for the svn access :)

I want to report on the above list:
1. New config files are now included in profiles/apiso and 
profiles/inspire folders in sandbox
2. Some model specific changes are included for iso profile class. Thank 
you very much for your time explaining the base code.
3. A test server at NTUA is available for testing at:
http://aiolos.survey.ntua.gr/pycsw/csw.py?service=CSW&version=2.0.2&request=GetCapabilities
OGC CITE test resulted in 100% compliance :)
4. ISO core queryables are listed in new config files for both ISO and 
INSPIRE profiles in sandbox.

So now the next step is to move towards iso profile.

Best regards,
Angelos
