Hi everybody, I think it would be useful for us to have an active coordinator, mainly as a point of contact for external organisations. At the moment, our rather anarchic structure, although all we need to work on Wikipedia, is a bit off-putting for people wanting to collaborate with our group. I've seen this with both Alex's Rfam project and Andrew's ProtenBoxBot project, both of whom chose to contact me directly by e-mail. I think having one named person who other collaborators could contact would help us forge links with the wider academic world.

If I was named as coordinator, I would continue my efforts to bring more people into contact with MCB, to aid us in expanding both our membership and our attracting input from outside groups. Tim Vickers 23:11, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
