OpenWetWare:Presentations/Tools

This is for a quick presentation to the MediaWiki hackers at Wikimania 2006.

Available tools

• Dewikify
• Personalized wiki
  • Recent changes filtering
  • Default home page
  • User sidebar
• User management system
• Scientific information presentation
  • LatexDoc (collaborate on papers, bibtex)
  • WikiTex (chemical diagrams, graphs)

Needed tools

Labs

• Laboratory management (what reagents are in the freezer?)
• Better user group system

Science

• Wiki database
• Semantic info

Publishing

• Methods to easily 'publish to OWW'
• Easy connection with publishers ('send to Nature')
• Citations. Have Cite extension but would be ideal to have a doi per page.

Misc

• Private pages
• A tool to monitor who is "watching" a page/namespace
• More customizable recent changes (SpecialRecentChanges is a great start, but is a bit confusing for new users, maybe SpecialRecChanges w/ a prettier UI), for instance, I should be able to see all changes by a subset of users, all changes to pages I'm "watching", and all changes to a list of namespaces (e.g., Endy:, Knight:).
• Integrated discussion boards.
