Sharing the images is great, but they are of little use without segmentation. The macroconnectome describes connections between regions. How are people supposed to collaborate if everybody comes up with a different way of overlaying atlas regions on each brain slice?
The Nature article is a bit too optimistic. Just because we can establish semi-quantitative connectivity levels between cortical regions with varying degrees of accuracy (many things can go wrong when injecting the tracer) it doesn't mean that a complete map of cell level connectivity is just around the corner. Hell, we disregard electrical synapses completely right now...
