[OWW-SC] E. coli Wiki

[John Cumbers]

so you get a unique id to log in with for openid,
e.g (https://johncumbers.myopenid.com/),

for oww, currently the equivalent is
http://openwetware.org/wiki/User:Johncumbers
which is a bit of a mouthful.

If we are serious about hosting openID's (which I think we should be) could
we look in purchasing www.oww.org from whoever owns it (worth $1000 maybe?)
so that we could have something shorter like:
http://johncumbers.oww.org

or maybe this, (without the new domain)
http://Johncumbers.openwetware.org/

not a big deal either way,
cheers,
John
