Interesting initiative. For those interested in finding out more information about reproducibility in science, check out David Donoho and Roger D. Peng as well (and of course, Ioannidis has lots of other interesting publications in this area). One of the outcomes from these efforts that I'm hoping for is that more scientists realize that reproducibility is not just a sideshow that's nice to achieve for some abstract reason. Rather, reproducibility is the core of science and reproducibility is the value that a scientist provides. Based entirely on my personal experience, it's depressing how little other scientists even understand the problem (much less care about it). It's just not on anybody's radar. I'm often told that it's a waste of time and not worth bothering about because people have more important things to do. (This is at the same time that we [in our specific field] routinely throw out analysis results that took weeks or months to prepare, because they couldn't be reproduced).
