    Can you check if they support/plan to support/can support OpenID?
    If they do, then we can have single login as OWW now supports

    e.g. http://openwetware.org/wiki/User:NAME

    There's already a slashdot for synthetic biology at taqdot.org

    Headlines.

    I'd rather have it embedded.
