	In the long term, the success of OpenWetWare relies on the assumption that the number of users actively curating the information of OpenWetWare will scale with the amount of content generated. However, there has been little work to examine how collaborative tools can best be used to develop information resources, such as the OpenWetWare protocol collection. We believe the project would benefit dramatically from the active establishment of community standards for organizing content in OpenWetWare. We will establish a UROP position to evaluate and implement templates and other methods for organizing information in OpenWetWare.

		+	It seems like a good idea to start a steering committee, with the idea being to help organize people who want to take a more direct role in encouraging OWW's growth in particular areas. The iCampus proposal is a good mapping for what these goals are, but I think we should encourage anyone (those on this proposal, or especially those not) who is interested to sign up.

		+	==Tentative timeline==
		+	The tasks of greatest initial importance lie in building the usage infrastructure of OpenWetWare; i.e., quantifying the current usage and developing the tools and guidelines that will be needed to continue its growth. This timeline is written with this initial output in mind. It is expected that many of the up-front analysis and development tasks will morph into more curative duties as the year progresses. Some tasks will be better suited to a time when more of the infrastructure is in place. For example, we might wait until the summer to begin merging OpenWetWare with fall class curricula.
		+
		+	Regular committments include monthly committee meetings.
		+
		+	12.2005:
		+	*Advertise for two UROP positions: software development and usage statistics & analysis
		+	*Compile initial observations of wiki usage, desired software improvements, and specific tasks for UROP positions
		+	*Make initial advertising materials (business cards, advertising & lab invitation emails)
		+
		+	01.2006:
		+	*Review findings of Usage/Data Management UROP
		+	*Formulate usage guidelines and develop their implementation
		+	*First recruitment/introductory tutorial luncheon
		+
		+	02.2006:
		+	*Review protocol templates, conversion tools, links to static webpages
		+	*Implement usable tools with current users
		+	*Second recruitment/introductory tutorial luncheon
		+
		+	03.2006:
		+	*Design set of advertising materials (posters, mailings, etc) and have printed
		+	*Develop outreach strategy: identify relevant conferences & meetings, etc.
