How is OpenWetWare useful for labs?
things that you do already offline but might be more effective on the wiki --> lab namespace
- meeting organization (lab meetings (1,2), retreat planning (1,2), etc)
- ordering
- lab jobs (1, 2, 3)
- equipment pages
things you may not do currently, but which are easy on a wiki --> lab namespace
- long term storage of lab information (protocols, primers, restriction enzymes)
- (-->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 (1,2)
- de-wikifying script can replace static webpage completely (examples:
- http://knight.openwetware.org/ is dewikified from Knight Lab.
- http://syntheticbiology.org is dewikified from Synthetic Biology.
- http://kafatos.openwetware.org/ is dewikified from Kafatos:Kafatos/Christophides Lab
- http://knight.openwetware.org/ is dewikified from Knight Lab.
- remove the webmaster "bottleneck" - democratized contribution
- de-wikifying script can replace static webpage completely (examples:
unique opportunities on OpenWetWare
- organising of university courses
- publicize your work, prior to publication
- OWW will probably be the top google hit for your name
- collaborate with people across the world or just downstairs
- Shared protocols, materials, equipment, etc. (protocol example)
How is OpenWetWare useful for iGEM teams?
- Strong synthetic biology presence on the site (it is the home of syntheticbiology.org).
- Q&A / Experimental troubleshooting
- Custom extensions
- Automatic Pubmed citations via Biblio (example use).
- Recent changes filtering. See iGEM on OWW recent changes.
- Easy adding of plots and chemistry diagrams (in progess)
