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

Bryan's suggestions contain most of the great information that's available under a free license, afaik- because of the implicit license, like wikipedia, one can import that data freely into a newer effort. That's why standards, technology, and license are crucial considerations. ;)

I think OWW requires moderator approval to join, which is effective against spam but makes participation hard. HPlus has always been a communal effort AFAIK, though you might need to use IRC to get involved beyond merely contributing content.

Multiple information sources is part of the problem. There needs to be a place for consensus. If wikipedia was spread out over 10 different sites it would be 1/10^6 as effective. I wish I had time to put this together.

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.
