Communication
Outreach
- OWW users to have access to other bio-wikis via OpenID (austin, sri)
Publishing
- Negotiate and maintain a list of journals that will accept a (versioned?) link to a wetware protocol in lieu of a methods section. (Peretz)
- OpenWetWare:Reviews - should we solicit some curators?
News and highlights
- 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.

Software
- Mediawiki extension requests (R, syntax highlighting, etc.) How to deal with? (Austin)
- 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)
Next meeting
- Virtual SC meeting date/time, not constrained by room reserve so is there a better time? (Jason)
