Science

BIoCurious has many Community Projects with an Open Science focus, the
three most active that might apply to your request are:

DIY BioPrinter: meeting for 4 years now with a goal to design an Open
Hardware BioPrinter and a system for DIY communities to explore this
technology. The project is open to collaboration via web conference
with project participants in Vancouver B.C, Florida, and even Brazil
joining in. Project wiki
https://sites.google.com/site/bioprinterwiki/

DIY Microscope: Project to hack a DNA sequencer into a lab microscope
project and will be shared for others to do the same, access to less
expensive microscopy can positively impact many projects. Wiki
https://sites.google.com/site/biocuriousmicroscopewiki/

Real Vegan Cheese: Engineer a cultured food to eventually reduce the
carbon impact of the diary industry. Wiki -
https://wiki.realvegancheese.org/index.php/Real_Vegan_Cheese

Counter Culture Labs in Oakland is working on Open Insulin and attempt
to design a generic (and lower cost) form of insulin.

I'm not sure the depth of information you are looking for but I'd be
happy to fill in details for the projects I'm on (those listed above).

Hi Gabriela

Cool initiative. Just from curiosity: What is the character of the data/ressources that you have and want to share?

Cheers, 

Bue

Any suggestion for the domain? I have been calling this project "DIYbiosphere"; sphere for short. Or could we use a subdomain from the diybio.org website?

If you're going with github at least do register and use a domain or subdomain you can migrate when you upgrade. Nothing worse than linkrot, and you'll lose SEO with the upgrade otherwise.

So it seems as if Jekyll+Github pages wins? I think that for now it might be the easiest way to start-off... Eventually we can migrate to another git repository manager—like gitlab—and another static site generator—like HUGO, and move it to our own server (eventually is the key word here).

For now, I have the resources to get it started. Anyone interested? Please share your ideas on what should the website have, look like, etc.

GitHub wiki works as a git repository, push to git@github.com:namespace/whatever.wiki.git (the .wiki.git repo is automatically setup by github). Otherwise, I suggest using ikiwiki for static html compilation from git wiki. This wiki can be hosted as a github repo as well. The github wiki git repository feature does not have all the same features as github git repos, like no pull requests or whatever. Jekyll is probably more friendly than ikiwiki, these days, even lacking the wiki front-end interface. I have found that users are profoundly confused by wikis that don't look like mediawiki's default stylesheet, so jekyll (without wiki features) seems probably fine.
