[OWW-SC] iGEM Registration on OWW front page

[Jennifer Braff]

Thanks for forwarding this discussion to the news list!
Let's get the iGEM announcement up ASAP since the registration deadline  
is coming right up.  Can someone with sys-op editing take care of this  
(or enable sys-op privileges for my account and I will take care of  
it)?  Perhaps use it to swap out the BioSysBio slot, since that is  
quite out of date.  Maybe at a later time we can do an iGEM group  
highlight also.

I absolutely agree with Reshma and Jason that "News and Highlights"  
links from the main page should, generally, only be used to highlight  
OWW content, such as:

(1) OWW labs, groups and individuals
(2) useful OWW community pages, such as the conference page that Julius  
set up
(3) OWW events/seminars
[(4) possibly, occasional outside news or events but only if directly  
relevant to open science, web 2.0 etc.]
