Using and contributing to PublicLab.org

The Public Lab website is where our community is developing open-source documentation and literature around our DIY civic science research.

Posting research notes

Research notes are the easiest and best way to share (i.e. open source) your work in a more permanent form. Post a research note about your work to solicit input, publish tests or prototypes, ask questions, or just to keep track of links and research documents.
