OpenWetWare:Information management/Standard protocol submission/Meeting - 7/6/06

Agenda

Template

• Template needs to:
  • Provide Background
  • Collect different versions of a given protocol
  • Allow for comparison of those versions
  • Provide some sort of forum for discussion/comments/questions (see below)
• Suggested Template
  • Multiple templates for flexibility or maybe several sub-templates so you can pick-and-choose?
• Template Includes (searchable Keywords possible?)
• User Friendly (Can we make this template easy to follow?)
• Print Friendly

Aggregation

• How do we optimize the process/format to maximize the number of protocols we can get.

User Input

• We need a way for users to comment on protocols as well as ask questions, get debugging help, and have discussions.
• We want these discussions to be archived and searchable.
• Is the wiki the best format?
  • It may be cumbersome when the discussion gets large

Categorize/Tag

• Tutorial on categorizing and tagging
• How can we best categorize each protocol?

Terminology

• How do we standardize terminology for easy understanding?
