Description

It is clear that scientists need areas to collaborate in private at various points in research projects. In fact, many members of OWW maintain private wikis for themselves or their labs to serve this function. The advantages of an OWW-branded Mediawiki distribution would be:

  1. lower the barriers for moving information from a private wiki onto OpenWetWare.
    • format of pages will be the same, and because we could improve tools to merge private OWW-brand wikis into OWW.
  2. provide greater exposure for OWW.
  3. help decide the issue of whether to allow private pages on OWW.
