I had the intent on posting my protocols on it. I also wanted to start a blog as the blog page made the invitation but except an automatic email answer I never got a thing. I wondered if OWW wasn't becoming another good idea being abandoned for lack of users and/or administrators. Some parts of OWW seem underused though. Anyway I would like to help, but I'd like were to send my offer/queries to get an answer. Glad to hear OWW is well and alive. I had the intent on posting my protocols on it.

You say near the end: "My own sense is that we should go meta and support the integration of many web-based tools and communities in support of making the research process better. We will end up doing many more things in the open as a result." I really agree with this! Congratulations to you on the lab rebirth and to all of the founding researchers for moving on to new successes! You founders can look at the stats above and know that you succeeded in building a very valuable and successful platform. But I think even those numbers don't show you the value each of the new users of OWW have received. For our own lab and lab members, OWW has been just an amazing platform and community and I can't thank you enough. We're ready to participate in the discussion and implementation of the future of OWW! Thank you for the update, Drew.
