[OWW-SC] Reddit Proposal for Thursday Discussion

[Julius Lucks]

Hi all,

The publishing group has put together an idea to link up voting on  
select pages of OWW.  As it stands, we would create a subreddit of  
reddit.com devoted to OWW (openwetware.reddit.com), and link it with  
the existing wiki.  As you can see on arxiv.reddit.com (a subreddit  
that deals with scientific content - in this case the physics  
preprint archive), the site consists of user posts that can be voted  
and commented on.  We outline the idea on

http://openwetware.org/wiki/OpenWetWare:Publishing_group/Reddit_idea

We would like to start this as an experiment, with its impact on  
normal users who do not want to participate minimal.  It will be  
interesting to see how it evolves, perhaps into an alternative  
publishing channel as we outline.  We would like to make a decision  
by Thursday to proceed, but please start the discussion on the wiki now.

Cheers,

Julius, John, Jason (JJJ)
