I think this is a good suggestion from Abhishek, which was also raised earlier by Richard Simpson (our Business Development Manager) in a broader context than just CellML. I wonder if Abhishek is willing to explore this a little further?

To be honest I'm not really so impressed with WA yet, but that's
probably because I haven't learned to use it properly.

I must confess that I am not particularly impressed with it either. I did 'play' with it quite a bit when it got released and, yes, it's fun/ cool if you stick to the kind of stuff shown in Wolfram's demo, but otherwise... it's basically 'useless'. This put aside, I like the concept and no doubt
that it's going to take time to make it worthwhile.

Can anyone explain/speculate to me how submitting to WA would help our goals of a.) increasing uptake of CellML, b.) model distribution [this
one is obvious,] c.) model reuse, d.) model
mix/match/cut/paste/remix/mashup, e.) model reparameterisation, f.)
merging of data sets....?

a) and c) I would imagine it's pretty obvious. The sole fact that CellML models would become 'available' through WA means that people would get to know about CellML and, from there, might be interested in finding more about
it, etc.

As for your other points, I don't know for certain, but I don't think it matters: anything that can help people use CellML is a good thing (as long
as it fits the maximum output for minimum input paradigm... :))
