Hi People, <br><br>We've (myself, Julius and Jason) been experimenting with Reddit at: <a href="http://openwetware.org/wiki/Reddit">http://openwetware.org/wiki/Reddit</a>. The idea would be to link from the main page of oww, and possibly have the top few links scraped and appearing on the main page of oww. The guys at reddit have set this up for us to see how it goes. You have to log into reddit as a separate account at the moment, if this works, then we could look at combining the log-ins.
<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;"> A couple of issues:</span><br style="font-weight: bold;" clear="all">1. If you comment then you see ads. We could ask for this to be removed, but not sure how well it would go down. We should think about a sustainable model for the future if we decide to go with this.
<br>2. Do we want to become a "slashdot for synthetic biology"? Or should we just limit the postings to pages on OWW? I think we should see how it evolves rather than limit content right away.<br>3. should we put it on the front page as a link, or as the headlines?
<br>4. We could not have it embedded into OWW e.g: <a href="http://oww.reddit.com/">http://oww.reddit.com/</a><br><br>cheers, <br>John<br><br><br><br><br>-- <br> John Cumbers, Graduate Student in Computational Biology
