New biowikifarm participants are welcome! Participate in shared long-term maintenance In-kind contributions welcome (no other cost) Where appropriate? Having more contributors than programmers When a community is interested in shaping the features of the platform themselves Middle path between structured and unstructured Simple Word-like text plus XML-like markup possible Automatic Android identification available

Cost of selling data
22
(some thoughts)
23
Cost of selling data Strictly: Data are not copyrighted and must be kept secret If they are directly viewable, people can legally copy and re-use them. Encrypted data → No feedback. Lack of reach, being cited and acknowledged. Option: ask everyone to sign an agreement Option: mix creative content with data while making it expensive to separate the parts
24
Cost of selling data Relaxed: Licensing cost. Marginal publishing cost: 0 EUR. Marginal individual licensing/sales cost: ~ 200 EUR. Others have high incentives to re-do your work in a way that you cannot reciprocate from. Trust problems in collaboration, negotiation overhead with partners Especially large collaborations are difficult (distributing income justly!)
