Peter, (01)
Many thanks for the offer, the help and the pointers. I'll have
something starting there in a day or two. (02)
Btw, I am delighted to see Cory Casanave's suggested theme on the Summit
Suggestions wiki page. The whole syndrome he highlights surely calls
for this Community's urgent attention. (03)
Christopher (04)

[ppy] I'd be happy to. (08)
We actually have a process (believe it or not!) to get towards
incubating new projects on the Ontolog collaborative work environment.
See: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WikiHomePage#nid20 (09)
Before the project is established (and staying in line with membership
contribution policy), one option is to develop a working draft of the
project as a subpage under your own "namesake" page. To this end, I
have just initialized a "OntologyChemistry_WorkingDraft" page and it's
now at:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ChristopherSpottiswoode/OntologyChemistry_WorkingDraft (010)
You can progressively populate that (as if it were the "Ontology
Chemistry project homepage," and when it comes time (i.e. when the
"Ontology Chemistry" project established), it will be a matter of 5
minutes to migrate the entire content over, from this working-draft
page to the real homepage.) (011)
One possible project page template (one which we have been using all
along for most of the Ontolog projects) can be viewed at:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WikiHomePage#nid2T (012)
A good reference would the "UoM_Ontology_Standard" project, and its
homepage - see:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?UoM_Ontology_Standard ... the
process it took to move that work to OASIS, is actually the process it
should take you to get your "Ontology Chemistry" project properly
established at Ontolog (as Ontolog actually follows to the OASIS
process in this regard.) (013)
All the best with moving this forward, Christopher! (014)
Regards. =ppy (015)
p.s. Christopher, we can take other logistics or support issues
offline, if they don't concern most people in the community. =ppy
