Re: [DIYbio] Re: Shouldn't we make a wiki?

An open wiki would be cool, though the value of a wiki is in democracy and resilience, so an open standard would be best. I've considered GitHub wiki's because at least the data is standard format and easy to migrate, but Wikimedia is the generally-most-loved wiki out there.

Proprietary wikis are to be avoided IMO: at best they end up a semicommercial silo, at worst a graveyard of good intentions. I consider "Proprietary Wiki" to be a tautology, given the overtones of democratic editing Wikis have come to be associated with.

Hi Michael,

I had the same thoughts when I joined the community and so we started this overview of DIY labware: https://github.com/symbiolab/bio-labware/blob/master/000_bio-labware_overview.md

Would be nice to have something like this for procedures as well...

All the best, B

One thing that's notably missing from this community is a centralized knowledge repository like a wiki. 

This wiki would contain things like a "ramp" of procedures, annotated with dollar costs, to take someone from 0 knowledge in bio to someone that could make contributions.

Anyone else agree that this is missing? Perhaps we can make a kickstarter.
