I think this is fantastic. I added a few things and made a few cosmetic edits. Great job, and please let me help out.

I especially wanted to add reference to this paper (http://www.sciencemag.org/content/ea...cience.1207745) and evidence that SeqAnswers serves as a resource to suit this modern Internet phenomenon of transactive memory and learning.

I think a bit of actual data is called for. I added a few requests in there that are very simple but bolster the statements that Seqanswers has significant impact on the community. I think ECO should be able to provide those.

(Sorry I totally missed pages 2 and 3 of this thread somehow. If I messed anything up in the draft on the wiki, sorry about that. Didn't realize you guys were done. I didn't touch the letter part.)

I can definitely pull some stats from the backend of the forum, Google Analytics, and/or direct mysql queries.

Probably some basics on traffic growth, users, overall # of posts, time to first response...others?

And also answer to the questions in the #draft 1

The most common search terms leading to SEQanswers include [ECO might be able to put together a list/table of the most common search terms that lead from Google to SeqAnswers using Google Analytics if he has it set up here] and the site is regularly accessed from X countries all over the world [ECO might be able to provide a short table with typical hit counts from specific countries].
[edit]

1> Common search terms that lead viewer from Google to SEQ*
2> Countries visiting SEQ*

Thanks for your hard work, Marco.

How about some reference to the number and range of different countries (geographic localities) represented.

In parallel, SEQanswers is inviting a network of high profile bloggers to bring even more content to the site, thereby stimulating more vibrant discussion.

Yes, it is the current draft.

Peter, as I have mentioned, I have emailed ECO for his future works on SEQanswers. Among all, some are relatively easier to do, including the invitation of bloggers and some others written in the current draft #1. As ECO has started contacting blogger, I assume this will be done soon, so I wrote it in the draft.

Peter, can you leave me your email, I think it is okay to forward the email. (correct me if I do not ;-))

[ulz_peter]

Soory to come up with the word count again, but it is currently 361 (without the comments), and some of ECO's parts are still missing. Anything we could get rid of without losing the main message?

[marcowanger]

Peter, dont worry, i will take care of it later

[ulz_peter]

I bet you do!

[andreas.sjodin]

Do we have an approximate deadline?
