[OWW-Discuss] Timeout problem

[Bill F]

Ricardo,

Thanks for the comments. I'd like  to find a way to make this info and other
related info accessible to others: this is a frequent question.

We spoke of the relevance of blogs and the poor searchability within OWW. I
suspect I mean we've spoken* around the search issue* rather than  directly
of it. But this is a great example of a small comment that will someday save
someone hours of data re-entry time or a decision to stop using OpenWetWare
altogether. I have another related comment re: getting data into the system
that, if I just say it here, will be useful to a few folks but because it's
in an email message, it will be lost to the rest of the world.

How do people think we should proceed? Julius and Mac have been working on
"how-to" articles. Lorrie and I are working to come out with a consistent
and useful way of providing help for all parts of out Lab Notebooks. Is
better Help a solution? What do you think?

Any ideas?

In general I wish we had a way to take these kind of email messages and turn
them directly into categorized and searchable wiki content. But I'm not sure
email is an answer in itself.

Thanks.

B.
