The DIYbiosphere collects and maintains entries on Do-it-Yourself biology (DIYbio) initiatives from all over the world in a distributed manner, similar to a wiki but using GitHub Pages. The project is participatory and completely open-source. Everyone can access and (re)use the content at sphere.diybio.org, which is dedicated to the public domain, except where otherwise noted. Anyone can also contribute to the project: writers add or edit entries, and developers parcipate in the development; the software, design, and overall direction of the project.
DIYbiosphere has four main goals:
- One is to create a central platform to find and learn about DIYbio initiatives.
- Two is to provide the DIYbio community a simple way to post and share their initiatives.
- Three is to have an open-source project to foster connection to DIYbio projects, people, and ideas.
- And four is to map and visualize the DIYbio community.
