Hi everyone, I'm an Italian degree student, and the TDI seems to me to be very interesting, so I subscribed to this mailing list... Did someone else made the same? ;)

Hello Luca,
I'm also a Catalan graduate student who subscribed a few months ago. I work on Bioinformatics and proteolytic enzymes. I think this a very interesting and exciting initiative, but we must still define some precise targets and outlines. Should we gather maybe some interesting links or references of relevant papers and think about it? What about a wiki for writing all it down? Do you have a nice suggestion to start focusing on? Is there anyone else out there? :-)
Greets,

Hello Toni,
excuse me for my bad english ;-) I'm - say... - studyin' biotecnology at Milan, where I live. I think it wouldn't be too hard to find many other people that could be interested in this initiative. I've found the website by looking at PLOS Medicine, and thus I am trying to know more about the TDI, and to understand what may I do.
I agree with your ideas... A wiki, but... which way? Maybe we have to contact the webmaster!
I'm thinking that it were nice and perhaps useful also to translate the site (e.g. to Italian) and encourage other students and researchers etc. to collaborate with us! May I talk about in some forum?
Well, I liked to know Dr. Sali! ;-)
And mmm... why not to create an IRC channel too?
Greets,
Luca

Don't worry, English is not my mother tongue, either. ;-)

This could be a wiki where different people could add information and make a documentation of the project. We should consider which are the necessities, privileges of the collaborators, etc. in order to select the best wiki technology or instead, another kind of CMS (Content Management System). After this, we could ask the webmaster whether she could help us ;-)

In my opinion, translate to different languages is good and necessary, especially the presentation site, the outlines of the projects and eventually, the results and conclusions. As in open source projects and scientific publications, I would use English as the primary working language. If TDI is ever big enough, there could be language-specific communities that could contribute to the international project.

I am usually at several rooms in irc://irc.gimp.org, we can just think about meeting in a room, let's say TDI, at a precise day and hour. Any suggestion, anyone in the list who is not from Europe? (that is in order to find an hour which could be fine for everybody).
Greets!
