[Foundation-l] The pathology informatics curriculum wiki: Harnessing the power of user-generated content

[Gustavo Carrancio]

As a contributor, mainly in the molecular pathology field  in the spanish
wikipedia, I see that our main problems are:  lacking of images, lacking of
reliable parameters and the great degree of scattering of data in the
literature, oftenly contradictory. Recently I talk about this with a pupil.

Therefore, even if this project is mainly concerned with informatics and
health managing, I wellcome this proyect in the hope that it could provide
us both some good and useful stuff ( the paper tells something imaging
informatics) and ideas to structurate our articles, not to mention the
articles about the pathology informatics itself.
