How to comment

If you do not have an account with Open Wet Ware, you can obtain one from here. I would like to have people format their questions and comments in the following manner:

  1. Make a subheading with your name by typing in the following to the wiki:
    • ===Your Name=== This subheading will be your area where you can post new comments to or, update any comments that you may have previously posted.
  2. To make new comments, please use the following wiki markup to sign the new comment with a time stamp.
    • '''~~~~:''' The output of this looks like: Andy Maloney 12:29, 7 February 2011 (EST):.

If you are unfamiliar with how to use media wiki markup, please take a look at the following formatting article. If for some reason you are not willing to join the wiki, you can email me by following the link below.

In the email, please let me know if you would like to be anonymous or not. I would like to give attribution to those that comment but if you would like to remain anonymous, I will respect your wishes.

As much as I would like to keep my dissertation completely open and in the media wiki format, I will have to at some point format it to the guidelines dictated by my university. This will necessitate putting a final "snap shot" of the dissertation in a book format of which, all comments will have their own special appendix in each chapter.

Thanks for looking at my open dissertation!

  1. You might want to change the voice of the dissertation. I like it like this, colloquial an honest. But it might get you in trouble later down the line with the university. For example, things 'like I became obsessed with ...' or 'I thought he was out of his mind' are true, but might jump out at your dissertation committee. So, think how to stay honest to the trial-and-error and informal collaborations that are natural for science, while making sure the language is acceptable for your committee. Don't give them any easy shots at you!
