We're very excited about some of the new features iSGTW incorporates. Some are designed to give you a richer reading experience, while others make iSGTW truly interactive, giving you the opportunity to have your own say and interact with colleagues as well as the iSGTW team. Briefly, these include:
In addition to continuing to roll out improvements that make the site as user-friendly and informative as possible, there are some major features planned for the future.
For example, we hope to implement a variety of advanced networking features. You'll be able to search other users to find and connect to colleagues using several relationship types. You will also be able to create a group profile for your laboratory, project, or resource, and then link yourself to it as an employee or member of the collaboration.
We also plan to roll out a wiki to which we hope you will contribute. At first, the focus of the wiki will be on introducing scientists to the myriad forms of scientific computing in order to help them understand their options and connect them to more advanced learning resources or assistance. The focus may evolve over time.
Our readers come from a wide variety of backgrounds. While we try to ensure that our articles offer something for everyone, it isn't always possible to do so using traditional text. That's why we've incorporated Apture into the new website. When we're writing our stories, we can embed content-rich links that provide information ranging from definitions to background information. To see what we mean, click on this link: grid computing.
Similarly, if you're not sure what a term means, highlight the term, and then click on the "Learn More" bubble that appears. An Apture box with information about the term will appear.
You can also use the Apture Search Bar, located at the top page, to search the web without losing your spot on the page. If it's getting in your way, minimize it using the double arrow button on the far left.
