[OWW-SC] Who wants an iPod? (the carrot for wiki contributors)

[Martin Jambon]

Dear all,

Below is an announcement that I received from a bioinformatics 
mailing-list. They will reward contributors of their wiki with iPods. 
Interesting, although I couldn't find whether the contents is available 
under some kind of free documentation license or not.
