OpenWetWare:Hiring

Brainstorming for job description

List of things that most need to get done on OWW right now

Figured this might be a good way to start to specify the things we'd like an OWW employee to work on. (in no particular order - please add!)

• Tutorial pages (how to start a new lab)
• Help pages
• Categorization
• Getting more funding
• Surveys, 'market research,' figure out what people want/need
• Maintain a calendar of conferences, workshops and events relevant to OWW community (calendar idea mentioned during last SC)
• Develop the Directory of people and improve visibility on available ressources/skills within OWW community (maybe linked to categorization)
• Being able to develop MediaWiki extensions would be a 'nice-to-have'

Possible dates

As decided at the last SC meeting, we'll be holding a seperate meeting to talk about hiring someone to work on OWW full/part time using the money available from the NIH grant. We'll need to decide what sort of background we're looking for / can reasonably find. If you're interested in contributing to the discussion but can't make the meeting, please write me (jasonk at mit dot edu) an email with your thoughts.

Please fill in your name in the time slots that work for you.

All of these work for me
