OWW Testimonials

• From an email Maureen sent to the sc: "When I started on OWW I mainly wanted a private wiki but because that option wasn’t around at the time, I started using the public wiki first. I’m glad it happened that way because If I’d had immediate access to the private wiki I might have just kept to myself and lurked around in my own world. Now I understand more about what OWW is about and I’ve become a believer. I find that I want to have as much as possible on the public wiki. For some new lab projects we are just posting everything in the open."
