Since the announcement of the project, responses show a real interest for the topic, the metaphor & the platform. Exciting! Propositions from curators, research, involvement of university students, info forwarded to scientists, etc.
We had a bit of delay in the platform development, as I came back end of the year with swine flu, and Inkahoots studio was out of service for 2 weeks because of the Brisbane floods. So we will work with a very basic version of the platform, which is maybe more open at this stage for your feedback & advice on its functionalities.
We started a conversation between lab & online participants (below full list of participants), as well as interested people, on a: Facebook group and a Blog.
