New ODP article in the Palaeontological Association newsletter
The new issue of the Palaeontological Association newsletter dropped through the letterbox this morning, and I was delighted to see that our article on the Open Dinosaur Project was included. The PalAss newsletter, despite its name, is not a couple of mimeographed-and-stapled sheets, but a reasonably substantial publication (98 glossy pages in the current issue), so hopefully it will help to raise our profile, especially among more traditional professionals who get their news from dead-tree media rather than the Internet.
You can download the whole newsletter as a single PDF from the PalAss site, or just the OPD article (five pages) if you prefer.

Very informative and well-written article! Interesting, too, to garner a bit of insight into how the project leads have viewed the volunteer effort thus far.
I for one am hoping that there will be a next phase to the ODP (beyond the forthcoming paper) that will provide us die-hards with additional opportunities to contribute. With any luck, that post-mortem you mentioned will conclude a sufficient level of success to warrant another go-round. (Just keep in mind that you’ll need wider columns for sauropod measurements!)
Congratulations!
Hey everyone. Anybody have an idea of where we should go next?
Hi, David. Yes, we’re sorry it’s been quiet recently. By unhappy coincidence, Andy, Matt and I have all had other matters urgently requiring our time recently. We’ll get back to the ODP just as soon as we can — shouldn’t be long!
Awesome! Thanks Mike.
Good to see the ODP getting some recognition; I look forward to seeing where we go next with this project.
