* Instead of writing login write only add and in every record include edit. When a user presses it he will be prompted to enter username and password or to register/send us email to get password.
* After login show the results of the last search (this is not needed given that the previous point is covered)

* Add a text explanation of how to enter big/small numbers using scientific notation. Also maybe allow notation like 10^11

* Show the total number of bioNumbers, users and searches since release

* Show a random bioN.
* View the most popularly viewed bioNs.
* BioNumber of the day/week/month

* When scrolling down the page, keep the search etc buttons visible (bottom or top)

* A button (newBioNs) for seeing recent numbers added (say last 10).
* Add a list of recent bioNumbers contributers

* Add a list of all other relevant DBs in a separate tab with links - or maybe make these records.

* Enable contributing numbers in "batch" mode, either through an excel table or some other format. Enable to enter a new number based on the fields of a previous number.

* Indicate items that were added/edited and in the curation process they will have to be approved. See also next point.
* Separate login and password for each user, or in the beginning between administrators that can curate and others. Administrators will also have an approve button that will change the status of a record or edit from "new" to "normal". Send username and password to users by email for later reference.
* Enable us to link to new textual content somehow. For example if we create a collection of problem sets that can be used for courses in biology using bioNumbers to retrieve numbers, contribute new entries etc.
* Allow things like larger than or smaller than in values/range
* Toggle to switch organism list from number of entries to alphabetical, or just put the organisms with more than 50 entries at the top by records and the rest by alphabetical order
* Automatically add keywords based on synonymous names and in general a semantic web

* Email corresponding author of referenced papers when a number is added and ask her/him to verify accuracy (done by automatic script, for example based on pubmed id).
