Darterpedia is
a wiki web site that, it is hoped, will facilitate a community of
darter
researchers to create and maintain a knowledge database of darter
biology. The wiki software allows users to easily create and edit web
pages using a web browser.
In context of this darter genomics site, it is hoped that researchers
will use the Darterpedia wiki to claim one or more species as their
research objective, collaborate with other researchers in
characterizing the genomic sequences of a species or a group of
species, contribute the gene sequence data to the community and
collaborate in the analysis of sequence data to help elucidate darter
phylogeny.
To become involved in this collaborative effort, please go to the
Darterpedia web site by clicking on the Darterpedia logo above and
register according to the instructions on the site.
The Darterpedia is set up to be a democratically operated site -
there is no Darterpedia "Czar" in charge of the site. The
"system
administrator" of the site is currently Leos Kral at the University of
West Georgia and he is responsible for the initial organization of the
site and the initial "rules" by which the site is to be managed. It is
hoped that long term "rules" of site management will soon evolve by
community consensus. |
