Re: SfN meeting submission

Hi Bill et al.,

I agree that it's important to make our SW/Neuro demo
visible to the 
neuroscience community. For example, I have asked Gordon
Shepherd (PI of 
SenseLab) to look at the AD use case written by June, Gwen,
et al to see 
if any comments/suggestions can be made. It would be great
if we can get 
more neuroscientists involved to help make our work more
scientifically 
relevant. I believe this would also help make SW
technologically credible.

Regarding the SfN abstract, my concern is that we might not
be able to 
meet the deadline given that people are currently busy
preparing for the 
upcoming demo at WWW2007 next week. In addition to what to
write and how 
to write it (it probably won't take long for an abstract), 
we need to 
discuss how the author list should appear. All these may
take some time 
to resolve as part of the community process, but we'd better
start 
thinking/discussing about it soon ...

Cheers,

-Kei
