Hi all, I took some time to update the roadmap and shift some items
around towards a more monthly tactical approach. Check it out, add
some items, tweak some, make some comments, and even better, take on
some tasks:

Also, Christopher spent some time making sure the accounts are all
working and I connected up the ping.fm, facebook and linkedin
accounts. Please follow, link, or friend your favorite networks (you
know you secretely have them anyway ;)

Finally, we've been brewing up an announcement about the updated theme
and logo, and I want to announce a big push towards getting summaries
of the top 5 academic papers in each field we represent. The
announcement is going to be big talk, but we need to back it up with
realidad.

Christopher did some research on how we could ascertain the top 5
papers in a field here:

I think we should map it to our main paper categories:

Anthropology
Arts and Literarure
Astronomy
Biology
Business
Chemistry
Clinical Research
Computer Science
Economics
Education
Engineering
Geosciences
Health
Mathematics
Medicine
Neuroscience
Philosophy
Physics
Psychology
Sociology

And, then ideally we can select the top 5 papers in each of those 20
fields/domains. That's 100 papers.

Another thought is to have a lead/admin for each topic that is
knowledgeable in the domain, and then seed it with top papers. Of
course there is bias, but have to start somewhere.

Any thoughts on this process?

Jon
