How do we build a community online that continues and supports the discussions that are occurring at this meeting. Examples from Tim of pain research community and STEMBook. Successful communities with a range of different access and moderation models. How do we organize/host build such a service and maintain. The general vs the specific case of this meeting. If this is an exemplar need to be able to interlink with other such instances. Build a set of resources relevant to some of the communities that are represented here eg NLP, semantic markup, lab records to provide a nucleus to 'ignite the community'. Options at fdifferent degrees of sophistication and cost. Simple google group through to full time editors and contributors driving content creation and discussion. Overall suggestion: build an aggregation and community site with comentary, content, and pointers to resources, possibly with some built in platforms for testing. Explicity aim to obtain resource to develop to the content, provoke discussion, and curate over time as well as development work. Aim to host both information andd discussion, explicitly surface tensions and disagreements both as a way of 'getting to e bottom of issues' and providing a compelling contt offering that will be seen as a key destination for those interested in this broad area.
