|
| There are lots of things needed, but the main thing is experimental input. If you're a scientist with access to a lab, open source drug discovery needs you. If you want to know what open source drug discovery is, go [[OSDD:Huh%3F|here]]. For anyone new to the project here is a [[short guide to using the Electronic Lab Notebook]].

| A [http://openwetware.org/wiki/OSDDMalaria:OSDD_Malaria_Meeting_Sydney_2012 one-day meeting on open source drug discovery for malaria] was held in February 2012. General issues surrounding the feasibility of open source drug discovery were discussed, followed by more specific malaria-related ideas. These talks are gradually [http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL84A4E62C3C72863D going up on YouTube] with [http://www.thesynapticleap.org/node/390 annotations], and they frame many of the relevant issues, for example the landscape of drug discovery in neglected diseases, and whether patents are necessary in drug discovery. An important message is that open ''source'' drug discovery is where anyone may participate in driving the research, which is different from a more general use of the word "open" where data are made freely available, but perhaps after a delay which essentially prevents participation by others.

| The way the project is run is one of the novelties, though as with everything in this project nothing is static and advice is always welcome on improvements. Raw experimental data are recorded in an online, openly-readable [http://malaria.ourexperiment.org/ electronic lab notebook]. [http://www.thesynapticleap.org/malaria/community The Synaptic Leap] is being used to discuss ideas and results, as well as plan future work.

The project's [https://twitter.com/#!/OSDDMalaria Twitter feed] is a broadcast mechanism for updates. LinkedIn as used in the past on another project as a way of connecting with relevant experts, but has not been used much so far in this project. A [http://openwetware.org/wiki/Open_Source_Drug_Discovery_-_Malaria wiki] (that includes this page) is used to host the current overall project status. If you wish to participate in this project, you can sign up to all these sites, and you would then be sent the Twitter/G+ passwords so you can used the same accounts.

About the Malaria Project
A human-friendly summary of the science to date can be found in The Story So Far.
A description of what open research is can be found in the Open Research Page.
Aggregated data on various branches of the project so far can be found on the Compound Series Page.
See publications from the project and what other people have written about it on the Links page.
What's Happening and What's Needed
Daily updates (including the To Do list) can be accessed through the project's main hub.
At the moment (July 2013) there is most activity on Series 2, with the raw data in this lab notebook.
The main resources needed in the OSM project are experimental input, particularly chemical compound synthesis and help with chem/bioinformatics. Anyone can make compounds, get them tested and contribute data. You don't have to be a research scientist - maybe you're an undergrad doing a lab.
If you have no access to a lab, there are a number of important other things needed, labelled as such on the To Do List.
Licence
The OSM project's licence unless otherwise stated is CC-BY-3.0 meaning you can use whatever you want for whatever purpose, provided you cite the project.
