Image of Life Cycle

Some biogeochemical cycle or any organism's cycle of life may give an idea of of biology spanning life and death, as also the theme of "recurrence". Example like this may be drawn by an artist. Supten Sarbadhikari 06:33, 19 June 2008 (CDT)

Expansion of the article for PLoS

Some of the points clarified by Larry at CZ:Myths_and_Facts may be used. Supten Sarbadhikari 06:41, 19 June 2008 (CDT)

Sure, if you think they'll help.

Some comments:

Traditional models relied on a set of paid editors whose combined expertise covered all fields within the scope of the reference work and who wrote individual articles rather independently, with little involvement of others. However, this model does not scale with the expansion of scientific (and other) knowledge.

I don't think scalability is the greatest, or at least the only advantage. Collaboration can make for more exhaustive and balanced coverage of a topic. Also, while editors and authors aren't paid, the results are free--hence, the impact of the work is greater.

We do want to get other Workgroup Weeks started...I have too much to do! But until we've set the dates, we can't report on them.

As to the rest, it's looking good! --Larry Sanger 12:08, 19 June 2008 (CDT)

Article Draft

Will the draft of the article be posted here? Supten Sarbadhikari 23:50, 24 June 2008 (CDT)

I had foreseen CZ:Biology Week/PLoS#Text for that -- just below the structure of the article. I plan to do most of the writing this Sunday (29). Will you be here then, too? -- Daniel Mietchen 03:16, 25 June 2008 (CDT)
Usually I'm offline Saturday and Sunday. I'd be online Monday June 30, 02:30 hrs. UTC onwards. Supten Sarbadhikari 22:14, 25 June 2008 (CDT)

nice pictures!
