Review other Mozsprint submissions for potential systemic effects on the open science landscape, and engage

[Daniel-Mietchen]

Since we aim at systemic improvements to the open science landscape, a good starting point for our Mozsprint activities would be to

• review other Mozsprint submissions in terms of how they might affect this landscape, and engage with them as appropriate, ideally in a way that would bring about synergies during and after the sprint
• review past Mozsprint projects in a similar fashion and try to follow up with them

There are several community calls taking place in preparation for the sprint, and I just joined one of them, for which the notes sit in https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/ol5-demos-c . Lots of good stuff in there, so engaging with these projects might be a good starting point.

Another project worth a closer look here is Wikipathways, as per https://github.com/mozilla/global-sprint/issues/155 .

This project tries to map the citations from Wikipedia to the scholarly literature: https://github.com/mozilla/global-sprint/issues/322 .

Here is a project for annotating the horse genome: https://github.com/mozilla/global-sprint/issues/218 . I left a note there pointing at Wikigenomes as a related project: https://github.com/UMN-EGGL/HorseGeneAnnotation/issues/18 .
