  • 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)
