WikiPathways Curation Jamboree
- Date:
- 11 Feb 2010 to 12 Feb 2010
WikiPathways (www.wikipathways.org) is an open, collaborative platform for the curation of biological pathways, created to facilitate the contribution and maintenance of pathway information by the biology community. WikiPathways currently contains hundreds of pathways for 18 species. Have you heard about WikiPathways and wanted to contribute, but didn't know where to start? Here's your chance!
On February 11th-12th, a curation event is organized to improve the quality of the pathways. The main focus of this event is to make the pathways more informative by adding descriptions and literature references. Curation events are open to all registered WikiPathways users, no prior experience necessary!
How to participate
- Check out the Guidelines page to get a sense of the curation tasks involved: http://www.wikipathways.org/index.php/Curation_Jamboree_2010

Support
WikiPathways admins and curators will be available in an online chat channel to answer questions immediately. (See http://www.wikipathways.org/index.php/Curation_Jamboree_2010 for details).
You can also post questions to the WikiPathways mailing list: wikipathways-discuss@removethis.googlegroups.com
If you have comments about a specific pathway and would like to start a discussion about it, you can do that on the Discussion page of the pathway in question. You can access the Discussion page via the Discussion tab at the top of the pathway page.
