Jennyn lab page activate

Dear [Lab],

Thanks for your interest and participation on OpenWetWare. We see that your lab hasn't used OpenWetWare much to post information on the lab and wanted to pass on two bits of information.

First, we are currently reorganizing the Front Page in order to solve the problem of having too many labs on the front page by highlighting only those labs that have very active laboratory sites. There will be a secondary link to other lab pages that are still in development. We are thinking of putting your lab in this second category and wanted to run that by you before we did. Nothing else would change, your labpage would just no longer be linked from the front page.

Second, if you have been wanting to construct a new lab site on OWW, but are having trouble, try our step-by-step Getting Started tutorial: http://www.openwetware.org/wiki/OpenWetWare:Getting_started.

There, you can find templates that you can simply copy-and-paste to your page, or you can create your own unique look.

Need some examples? Use your page...


 * 1) to share information about your lab (Lauffenburger Lab, http://openwetware.org/wiki/Lauffenburger_Lab), maybe even find collaborators
 * 2) as a repository for protocols (Silver Lab, http://openwetware.org/wiki/Silver:_Protocols)
 * 3) as your online lab notebook (MIT iGEM team, http://openwetware.org/wiki/IGEM:MIT/2006/Notebook)
 * 4) to share reagents (Hoatlin Lab, http://openwetware.org/wiki/Hoatlin:Reagent_Requests)
 * 5) to make awesome videos, and share! (Crisanti, http://openwetware.org/wiki/OpenWetWare:Highlights/labhighlights/Crisanti_Lab)
 * 6) the list goes on...

Anyhow, we hope this won't be too much of an inconvenience. We will be reorganizing the front page in approximately 3 weeks. Please continue to use OWW as you find it useful. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me on my talk page: http://www.openwetware.org/wiki/Talk:Jenny_Nguyen.

Thanks!
