OpenWetWare:Steering committee/Meeting - November 2006

From Last Month

 * Lecture with Chris Surridge done! If we want an OWW journal, piggy-back PLoSOne.
 * Server move done! We were Slashdot-ed. Double traffic.
 * Post Genomic - any page on OWW that uses Biblio ext with site will be in RSS feed.
 * Talked with Linda Miller (head of US Nature and peer-review trial) about how to get peer-review publishing. No problem with publishing information posted on OWW. Great if OWW becomes DOI. DSpace has DOI server.
 * Should be able to submit request to DOI page.
 * E-mail DSpace for possibly free DOIs.
 * Science Journalists Highlight up! Thanks Reshma!
 * Will have OWW SubReddit up soon!
