OpenWetWare:Steering committee/Meeting - August 2007

SC Reports

Brief reports on the month's activity should be written by each chair 2 days before the SC meeting. At the meeting each chair will bring up any open issues that require discussion, but won't need to recount everything described below.

Analytics

• A draft of distilled OWW site statistics currently available.

• The perl scripts developed for wikipedia, which we currently applying to extract stats for OWW need to be updated to provide more OWW specific information we might be interested in.

If SC find it important to extract more OWW specific information (e.g. Most active new users, oww namespace specific information,etc.) we could consider to put up this as a feature request to customize these scripts. It shouldn't be too hard to do this modifications. However, the perl source is not well commented/documented so it is not done in an afternoon (not for myself anyway).

Software

• Get Bill Flanagan an OWW account & add him to relevant lists (i.e. Extensions list)
• Continue to prioritize the feature list

Publishing

• update on elsevier/scopus integration
• IET Synthetic Biology move to open access?
