[Neurobureau-hubs] Seeking Feedback

Tue Mar 13 08:34:46 PDT 2012

Dear Michael and coll.,

This is a fantastic resource ! I have started something along those lines a
couple years ago on citeulike:
http://www.citeulike.org/group/3138

>From the perspective of a cooperative effort, it has been more or less a
failure (see my notes <http://www.citeulike.org/blog/pbellec> on the
subject). I have made no effort at advertisement though, and did not have
RA to stimulate the work. But as I use citeulike to manage my
library<http://www.citeulike.org/user/pbellec>,
I keep posting there every now and then. There is already far less papers
than in your new resource, which is impressive ! The
(user-community-generated) tag cloud is much richer and messier on
citeulike. I will be happy to contribute to your effort in the future, as
your army of RAs is going to keep the resource well and alive. This will be
critical to attract users. And the tag cloud is going to become a real
chaos :)

This is a perfect example of activity that's relevant for
brainhack<http://brainhack.org/>.
Do you mind if I post it eventually on the website ?
