[OWW-SC] OWW news for a newsletter?

[John Cumbers]

Hi All,
I've finished the first part of the news (a grand total of 2 pieces of
news..) http://openwetware.org/wiki/Novel_uses_of_OpenWetWare  I'll
aim for a new piece every fortnight or so.  Please feel free to edit
it as you see fit.  I'll comment on Jennyn's discussion page
http://openwetware.org/wiki/Information_Management_Discussion as to
where the news could fit into the main page.  Please e-mail me with
any other tidbits, and let me know if you think the style is too
formal, the aim was to entice users into areas of OWW that they do not
normally see, for the next one I'll work on the protocols..

cheers,
John
