the mundane
things that you do already offline but might be more effective on the wiki
- meeting organization (lab meetings, retreat planning, etc)
- ordering
- lab jobs
- equipment pages
- control experiments, etc.
the practical
things you may not do currently, but which are easy on a wiki
- long term storage of lab information (protocols)
- Helps with the rapid turnover of personel in labs, collaborative protocol editing tunes protocols used by several lab members, searchable, information.
- up-to-date, high content level lab webpage
- remove the webmaster "bottleneck" - democratized contribution
- Can even automatically remove the border so it looks nice. (OWW version)
the glitzy
unique opportunities on OpenWetWare
- publicize your work, prior to publication
- OWW will probably be the top google hit for your name
- collaborate
- find out what people are doing right now across the world or just downstairs
- shared spaces
- Shared protocols, materials, equipment, etc.
- protocol example
Feedback
- We're actively looking to make the site more useful to the scientific community, is there anything that you would like to see added?
