What's the best way to discuss "open research"? Let's say that you have a research problem. You might post it on your blog and receive comments. Or you might create a wiki with questions, to which people can contribute answers. All well and good, but then we end up with useful content spread all over the web. What's the solution? Centralised portals, aggregators? Or are people happy to search multiple sources for content?
I don't know the answers. However, in the spirit of Mike's open science article on our wiki, I created an open research section. The idea is that if someone performing open research has a question and you have an answer, you can post it here and point them to it. I've kicked things off with a look at a recent bioinformatics problem from Rosie's blog.
I'm not proposing that this be the central point for these kinds of discussions - it's just another alternative and one that we can all find.
