OpenWetWare:Accounts policy/June Meeting

• Jason R. Kelly:The purpose of this meeting will be to discuss/better clarify the new account policy on OpenWetWare. There are a number of applications back-logged that are on the fence and I'd like to get them cleared up. Additionally, the policy has been relatively informal to date (maybe a good thing), and might be worth clarifying.

Agenda

• Institutional Affiliation?
  • What about people from companies who want to advertise their product (or their conferences)?
  • What about people with no current academic affiliation?
• People who just want access to OWW tools? (e.g. "want to learn how the biblo extension works?")
• Teachers/students from high schools?
• Procedure for blocking people who spam?
• add items...
