MobiWiki

Andy Pierce programmed this wiki in Python (http://python.org) to address unmet needs in a wiki used for molecular protocols.

The source code to this wiki [tentatively "MobiWiki" for "Molecular Biology Wiki"], and all the wiki-file documents in this wiki are covered by the Gnu General Public Licence (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html). A tarball of the source (with the licence in the README file) is available at http://www.paralog.com/MobiWiki.tar.
