Precedings, pt2

We're going to try using groups and forums on Nature Network as places to discuss Web Publishing products. The idea is that Network's limitations will become apparent very quickly (well, not very quickly, it's well written - but complex and still relatively new) and we'll be able to prioritize fixes and new features better. This makes sense. Before anybody mentions it in the comments I think that Network needs RSS too. AFAIK it's on the to-do list.

Anyway, Precedings has a group there which you can use to request new features, discuss the issues surrounding biomedical preprints, ask questions about the site, etc. Hilary Spencer (who runs Precedings) has already posted about submitting research to Precedings vs just posting it on your blog.

It's interesting stuff - wasn't there a similar discussion on NFTB or Nodalpoint or somewhere a while back, about using WebCite to archive blogged research?

Take a look.
