Hi All,

I recently made an sc blog post about the OWW user survey: http:// 
blog.openwetware.org/sc/2007/09/18/help-us-make-openwetware-better/

Check it out, or access the survey here: http://oww.wufoo.com/forms/ 
openwetware-user-survey/

It is short and sweet, and anonymous.  Your feedback will help us a  
great deal in improving OWW!

Cheers,

Julius

Hi guys,

I'm in Barcelona this week at the annual OpenOffice.org conference. I
thought you might be interested in the latest release of OOo, 2.3,
because it has the ability to save documents as text files in
MediaWiki syntax, a feature which is seeing a lot of buzz among the
attendees here. (Sun uses MediaWiki for a lot of internal sites, and
the OOo community's MediaWiki has been the fastest-growing part of
its site.)

It might come in handy for you or, more likely, for other potential
contributors to OWW who are just learning the wiki way!

Thanks,
Ben

Cool.  The next step would be to make OOo a front end for editing wikis
directly.

In a way, you can do this if OO can read MediaWiki. You can register it as
an external editor for mediawiki text documents if it's turned on in config.
The problem is there is some per-client config required to do this I
believe.

Looks like it's starting to get better.  If anyone plays around with
it, please email your experience to the list.

Also, if anyone wants to start a journal using TOPAZ as a layer on top
of PLoS One's peer review apparatus -- I think that would be a good
idea, and OWW would be happy to host and support ;)

thanks,

Also, OOo can now be used for converting Word documents to wiki text.

rainstorming 

Dear OWW Community,

Later this fall, OWW is going to begin a major effort to implement new
features to improve lab notebooks on OWW.  In the next couple weeks, we'd
like to have a brainstorming session to collect ideas from the community.
We need to find a suitable time for this session.  If you are interested,
please go to the above link, add your name to the list, and vote on your
preferred time:

*	Thursday October 4, Noon Eastern Time
*	Friday October 5, Noon Eastern Time

Also please post any suggestions about the meeting format.  You can post
questions on the wiki page, or email to sjkoch at unm.edu.

Thank you!
