Please post any topics you would like the SC to consider at the next meeting -- you don't need to be on the committee to post something here! Next Meeting: 3/9/07 @ Noon EST ONLINE! If you want to call in, please call 617-324-7520 (Also, you can participate in the meeting online by joining the chat here after enabling chat in your preferences) Discussion of public wiki nodes (austin) OpenWetWare:Reviews - should we solicit some curators? Forum software - worth revisiting this in light of community portal and discuss being light on conversation? Duplicate accounts (entries with the same email address): 153 instances as of 2007-02-27 (Ilya) people forget their passwords and don't use the password reset feature? people forget their usernames? then we need "recover username" feature Many invalid or blank email addresses. Problems: password reminders bounce, hard to contact those users: impossible to send notification that account was created, etc. Should we have an automated mechanism to confirm that every new user has a valid email address? (Ilya) Virtual SC meeting date/time, not constrained by room reserve so is there a better time? (Jason) SC positions / elections / volunteers / etc Mediawiki extension requests (R, syntax highlighting, etc.) How to deal with? (Austin) Video of the month OWW users to have access to other bio-wikis via OpenID (austin, sri) OWW blogs (sri) Negotiate and maintain a list of journals that will accept a (versioned?) link to a wetware protocol in lieu of a methods section. (Peretz) News and Highlights: This section could be organized/formatted to make it simpler (and less intimidating) to add a news story or highlight and rotate older items to the appropriate archives section. It would be nice to implement things in a way that highlights can be easily swapped without disrupting the cool-looking layout of the main page, as well as making it clear and easy how to archive and acess highlights that have been replaced.
