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

HPlus has always been a communal effort AFAIK, though you might need to use IRC to get involved beyond merely contributing content.

That community has been around for almost 10 years now, take a look at http://diyhpl.us/wiki/hplusroadmap for a broad overview and about the IRC aspect, and also for contributing there's https://github.com/kanure/diyhpluswiki which has the same git repository. Originally there was a mailing list which began in 2007. The IRC logs http://gnusha.org/logs/ only go back to 2008. There's a lot of weird history in the IRC logs, like that time in January 2009 where I was commenting on some "lousy work" from "some guy Satoshi Nakamoto" .... although perhaps that oversight https://twitter.com/petertoddbtc/status/776900184836046849 is forgivable due to other circumstances.

There's some interesting resources on the wiki that you might be interested in; they make up mostly notes I guess:

one sentence summaries of all iGEM projects

whole bunch of word-for-word transcripts from relevant conferences/meetings

IMHO the way to add content is to bookmark and link to diybio mailing list content, and just turn that into more pages. There's already a wealth of content and knowledge from this community, it's just a bit scattered. So if you want to spend 12 hours organizing the ol' mailbox file http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/irc/diybio.maildir.tar.gz then that's certainly one way to make sense of things.

There's also this stuff:

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.
