Zebrafish GenomeWiki is a shared genomics resource for community annotation of the Zebrafish genome on the lines of the ‘wiki’ . Members of the Zebrafish community can annotate, comment and edit existing data sets using the Zebrafish GenomeWiki portal. The Zebrafish GenomeWiki will permit community experts and individual investigators to add the latest genomics information and discuss alternative annotations there by speeding up the fine annotation the Zebrafish genome.
We invite community members to kindly annotate your favorite gene. For every gene you annotate or edit you will be rewarded by micro- attribution system in the wiki.
You can visit Zebrafish GenomeWiki at: http://fishwiki.igib.in/TWiki_4_2_4/bin/view/Main/WebHome

Sunny, how have these wikis worked so far? If you read people who have been around for a while, Larry Moran, etc., they seem to think community collaborations rarely succeed because it’s a lot of work and good people get as much credit as bad – once people get irrirated for being edited it ends up as a few doing most of the work?
Is it a better system now because younger scientists grew up with wikis?

Hank, lots of people from different places are joining our community and doing fine annotation of zebrafish genome.In our community every person who annotate or edit their favorite gene will be rewarded by micro- attribution system in the wiki.
so if a person annotate more genes he/she will get more credit by micro-attribution system.
