Who owns and controls Sci-Mate? And what commercial interests are involved? The sci-mate is a community project without institutional or commercial ties or obligations. It is intended to operate as an objective infrastructure owned and controlled by its member community.
Who is paying for its development and running costs? All development and running costs have been met through the donation of personal time and/or money by myself, Christopher Dyer, and small group of existing members (as private individuals). All members are invited to contribute towards site development, and foundation membership is now open.
Does it work? Yes, the site is ready to go.
What is missing? A core of dedicated bench scientists who will ultimately make a fortune by being the first to use these powerful software tools to promote their interests.
How can I get involved? Simply join, contribute a mini-review of your work or list technology, tell your friends, and bring the site to the attention of post-grad. post-doc. associations and your organization's technology transfer office. Cook up a storm, build the pyramid, we will help you as necessary! Contact us if you need support, preferably through the site, or via email.
How hard is it to use these tools? Do I need training? Absolutely not. While these Web 2.0 tools can do a lot to promote and formalize sometimes complex exchanges, the user experience is familiar and intuitive. Start with a clear idea of what you want to do, perhaps initially prepare a written draft off-line, and then follow the instructions to submit content. Getting started is easy.
What support is available? The entire community of users is behind youFeedback-Wiki.
