OpenWetWare:Steering committee/Meeting - June 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

Traffic (pageviews and sessions) is about the same in May as previous two month (slight increase).

A short summary of the traffic in April can be found here.

OWW stats from the mediawiki db can be found here:

• Charts

• Tables

Notes from from last meeting

• can we produce a distilled version of the stats with some of the more important stuff and then publish it to the wiki each month?
  • Absolutely, I'll try to put something together for next month stats.--Mattias 10:10, 5 June 2007 (EDT)

News and highlights

Updates this month include:

(1) current iGEM stuff (2) Silver lab swapped in for lab highlight (Hoatlin lab will go up next ~6/15 unless someone does it sooner)

Items to discuss:

(1) Do we allow non-OWW links off maine page? My take on this is, generally, no, unless there is a pressing reason to post an external link (e.g. when nytimes posts an headlining article on OWW) (2) Should labs/groups/individuals be asked/notified before being featured? If so, should we have a protocol for this, such as an 'official' email or notice on the discussion page?

Outreach

Outreach hasn't done much of anything this month due to craziness associated with PhD theses. Vincent got a lot of feedback from Natalie about the survey content. Anyone else who wants to add or edit the survey content, please do so soon, since the Outreach chairs will be back in full force towards the end of June and we will try to send the survey out then.

Publishing

I've been away the last two weeks, so no progress here, despite my promise for a demo of pligg last month, I apologize.--Johncumbers 20:15, 6 June 2007 (EDT)
