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

The Public Lab for Open Science has a marvelous home-grown wiki (that supports markdown! Amen!) for enabling their community to collaborate and report on various experiments. Fork it!

Hey Connor,

   Is it possible to have multiple lab books connected to a project? If not that might be an interesting idea especially for collaborations. I actually don't even know what would be a good solution for something like The ILIAD project. How to make it easy for say 100 or 1000 people to collaborate and post experiments on a Science project? Do you feel that SynBiota would scale well? Just from a brief glance at the webpage you sent me it seems that it is more geared towards smaller collaborations? Maybe? I have been trying to use a Wiki because it seems that has been the most successful large scale collaboration tool but it was also built a while ago. A customizable front page to a Synbiota project might be cool also. I see one can edit the Details but those are hidden, one needs to expand that to see what is going on can that be changed by a project creator?

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!

yeah...

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...
