Shetty› I briefly looked over the survey and actually found the results kind of interesting 07/02/2008 17:16:36 ‹Reshma P. Shetty› like the fact that most users are fine with other people editing their pages 07/02/2008 17:16:37 ‹Jason R. Kelly› what'd you fuind? 07/02/2008 17:16:42 ‹Jason R.

Kelly› http://blog.openwetware.org/sc...system/ 07/02/2008 17:27:15 ‹Jason R. Kelly› post about publishing 07/02/2008 17:27:19 ‹Jason R. Kelly› from john 07/02/2008 17:27:32 ‹Jason R. Kelly› wiki here: 07/02/2008 17:27:32 ‹Jason R. Kelly› http://openwetware.org/wiki/Op...g_model 07/02/2008 17:30:14 ‹Await› I have another meeting but I'll log. It's always exciting to watch OWW unfolding. :) 07/02/2008 17:30:34 ‹Barry Canton› Thanks Sasha. 07/02/2008 17:30:41 ‹Reshma P. Shetty› yes thanks 07/02/2008 17:31:00 ‹Reshma P. Shetty› also john, I changed the main page according to your suggestion 07/02/2008 17:31:02 ‹Reshma P. Shetty› see what you think 07/02/2008 17:31:17 ‹Reshma P. Shetty› ahh i guess john isn't in the chat 07/02/2008 17:31:24 ‹Reshma P. Shetty› but other folks can take a look 07/02/2008 17:31:42 ‹Hoatlinm› nice! 07/02/2008 17:33:13 ‹Jason R. Kelly› i like that idea a lot 07/02/2008 17:33:23 ‹Jason R. Kelly› also feeds in well with the lab ntoebooks 07/02/2008 17:34:02 ‹Ricardo Vidal› I do too. It's also related to the seal of approval idea Lorrie spoke about. 07/02/2008 17:34:21 ‹Reshma P. Shetty› it is pretty similar in spirit to what we were talking about in terms of capturing info that doesn't have an outlet right now 07/02/2008 17:34:31 ‹Austin J. Che› The "OpenWetWare:New users" list is technically different from what's shown on the main page. So when people click "all users" they might not see what they expect 07/02/2008 17:34:57 ‹Reshma P. Shetty› yes ... the "OpenWetWare:New Users" is based on the RSS feed 07/02/2008 17:35:04 ‹Ricardo Vidal› When a protocol has reached a certain point of "oww" review, it could be given a green light for general approval and then a DOI could be attributed. 07/02/2008 17:35:16 ‹Reshma P. Shetty› it has the advantage of showing what people's affliation is 07/02/2008 17:35:19 ‹Julius B. Lucks› good job on the main page Reshma 07/02/2008 17:36:08 ‹Reshma P. Shetty› but we don't have as much control over how the RSS feed is formatted 07/02/2008 17:36:11 ‹Lorrie› There's either a board of reviewers, or something more 2.0-ish where once a doc has so many positive votes, it automatically gets the seal. 07/02/2008 17:36:22 ‹Reshma P. Shetty› so it doesn't look very good on the main page 07/02/2008 17:36:34 ‹Ricardo Vidal› Lorrie, I agree. 07/02/2008 17:40:07 ‹Reshma P. Shetty› @Austin, if you don't like the different formatting on the "OpenWetWare:New Users" page, we can change it 07/02/2008 17:41:23 ‹Jason R. Kelly› just in case ppl dont know about igem 07/02/2008 17:41:23 ‹Jason R. Kelly› http://parts.mit.edu/igem07/in...in_Page 07/02/2008 17:43:20 ‹Ricardo Vidal› The community activity is what is important. At this moment it looks like people are keeping to their own section of the wiki. And don't really stem out towards other labs and whatnot. 07/02/2008 17:43:38 ‹Ricardo Vidal› (sorry, at the library again and can't talk :) 07/02/2008 17:43:58 ‹Julius B. Lucks› Ricordo - I completely agree 07/02/2008 17:44:18 ‹Julius B. Lucks› any ideas of how to do a better job of coordinating that? 07/02/2008 17:44:30 ‹Austin J. Che› it's not the different formatting of the New Users page. the actual list of names is different 07/02/2008 17:44:38 ‹Julius B. Lucks› (soryy - Ricardo not Recordo) 07/02/2008 17:45:05 ‹Julius B. Lucks› (I can't type) 07/02/2008 17:45:07 ‹Ricardo Vidal› I think the blog should be an extra. Because it's pulls you away from the wiki. 07/02/2008 17:45:27 ‹Ricardo Vidal› The community portal should have user highlights, protocol hightlights, etc 07/02/2008 17:45:27 ‹Julius B. Lucks› what do you mean by extra? 07/02/2008 17:46:33 ‹Ricardo Vidal› the minute a user clicks on a link in the wiki and is taken to the blog, he's leaving the community and reading another single user or groups ideas 07/02/2008 17:47:10 ‹Reshma P. Shetty› hmm i am not sure why the lists are different 07/02/2008 17:47:13 ‹Barry Canton› I agree with you here Ricardo 07/02/2008 17:47:28 ‹Austin J. Che› because the dpl uses a template which may or may not be present on new user pages 07/02/2008 17:47:39 ‹Reshma P. Shetty› ok 07/02/2008 17:48:05 ‹Austin J. Che› simple case: I can add myself to the front page by adding that template to my page 07/02/2008 17:48:25 ‹Reshma P. Shetty› @austin, yes I understand 07/02/2008 17:49:14 ‹Reshma P. Shetty› @austin, do you suggest I change the new users page? 07/02/2008 17:49:58 ‹Ricardo Vidal› the community page should resemble a portal and will require active work by someone or a group of people. 07/02/2008 17:50:08 ‹Reshma P. Shetty› @austin, cause like I said, we can't format the RSS feed of new users well enough for the main page 07/02/2008 17:50:42 ‹Ricardo Vidal› I agree 07/02/2008 17:52:41 ‹Ricardo Vidal› yes, to show what is going on in general 07/02/2008 17:54:05 ‹Ricardo Vidal› sounds great. 07/02/2008 18:02:21 ‹Ricardo Vidal› Cameron Neylon has a good post regarding these issues and guidlines 07/02/2008 18:02:35 ‹Jason R. Kelly› yeah was just gonna say that 07/02/2008 18:02:39 ‹Jason R. Kelly› looking for ht elink 07/02/2008 18:03:31 ‹Ricardo Vidal› http://blog.openwetware.org/sc...heopen/ 07/02/2008 18:03:37 ‹Jason R. Kelly› thanks 07/02/2008 18:04:50 ‹Reshma P. Shetty› i gotta run but bye folks 07/02/2008 18:06:32 ‹Ricardo Vidal› Great meeting. Bye guys
