Recomputation.org:Experiences of its first year and lessons learned

We founded recomputation.org about 18 months ago as we write. The site is intended to serve as a repository for computational experiments, embodied in virtual machines so that they can be recomputed at will by other researchers. We reflect in this paper on those aspects of recomputation.org that have worked well, those that have worked less well, and to what extent our views have changed on reproducibility in computational science.
