[OWW-Discuss] question - pointers to wiki design "for dummies"

[Trevor McKee]

Great, thanks a lot for the links.

Yeah, figured I'd give it a go.  I'm not so much a "wetlab" person as I am
an imaging person - but OWW is a neat concept, and a little more amenable to
editing than our current webpage (which was designed by one of my summer
students last year).  I'm happy to contribute to any imaging related
discussions should you need any particular resources - one very good
reference for imaging is ImageJ, the open-source java based image editing
and measurement program for science - you can find the program and project
page at

http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/

and you can also find a manual put together by one of the core facilities at
our institution:

http://www.uhnres.utoronto.ca/facilities/wcif/imagej/

Point me in the right direction and I can stick that info on a page (in case
it's not up there already)...

Is the oww-discuss list for this kind of stuff, or is the discussion
oriented more within the wiki pages?  Sorry - I'm a little too old school
for all this new fangled web 2.0 stuff - thanks for helping me along.  :)

Also, I hope to see some of you at the BE / Chem E BBQ next week, as I'm
back in town doing some experiments to finish up a (seemingly endless) paper
for my former PI there - and if they'll accept crufty alums, I'm down with
getting some free Redbones, for old time's sake.  :)

- Trev
