Re: [DIYbio] Anyone know a good.spam free Wiki like Database for storing experiments and data?

Hey Josiah,

You could check out www.synbiota.com - a fair amount of people/groups are using it to document, organize and share projects, protocols, data, etc.

Here's an example of a group that's using and enjoying it - https://www.synbiota.com/projects/455/

If you want to get a handle on the features available, best place to check right now are the short walk-throughs on youtube: https://youtube.com/synbiota

I'd be excited to hear feedback from you.

I'm pretty quiet on this group - but I just had to reply to your post. Seems as though you could save a lot of time using what we've built rather then rolling your own solution if I understand your requirements correctly.


! Caveat - I work at Synbiota, so FYI about that.


Regardless - hope you find a solution!

I will just attempt to confirm the people manually. MediaWiki doesn't send an email when a new account request shows up which sucks. I guess I can attempt to fix that issue if I find the motivation.

Thanks all for the ideas everyone but I guess as most people said it is kind of unavoidable.

It's a big complexity leap and task, but there's
django framework for database driven web apps.  Modules
in that framework exist for registering users that would lessen
the anti spam work, but not fully automate it.

For an anti spam shield against registering as a user were full auto,
it would be AI.  We don't seem to be there yet.

Maybe that's why the subscription services are starting up.
The money pays for anti spam human verifying...
