Mimulus Wiki talk

What is on the Mimulus Community Wiki page?

 * Let's check out Mimulus Community

Why do we want to learn about the Wiki?

 * 1) It is an easy way for everyone to communicate about their research
 * 2) Todd Vision is going to use a Wiki for analysis of the genome
 * 3) We are the first hit on Google for "Mimulus Community" (and the 6th hit for "Mimulus")

Okay, so how do we edit the Wiki page?

 * 1) Check out the help contents
 * 2) Take the [Wikipedia tutorial] and play in the sandbox

What are some of things that I can do with my wiki page?

 * 1) Do wild formating
 * 2) Create links to favorite websites
 * 3) Upload and download useful spreadsheets
 * 4) Put pdfs and images on Wiki pages
 * 5) Help the Mimulus community better know what is out there!

Okay, I want to get started. What should I do?

 * Contact David Lowry and ask to become a user.

What about this dewikify thing?

 * It's in the works. In the meantime, it would be best if all new pages are created with the heading "Mimulus:Name." That way it will be easier to have everything become dewikified at once.

What is OpenWetWare?
It was founded by a group of scientists at MIT. The overall idea is open source biology that can easily be shared by all scientists. An article about its development can be found here.
