[opensourcepharma] On NPR: crowdsourcing solutions for Ebola

[Alice Williamson]

The platform is of huge importance if this approach is to succeed. It would
be good to exploit existing inventory systems in institutes around the
world so that they could automatically 'push' data to this platform.

The Community for Open Antimicrobial Drug Discovery CO-ADD (
http://co-add.org/) has an interesting approach and has put out a call for
molecules.
They will screen any compound sent to them but then allow the compound
'owner' to use the data generated in any way that that they like, including
patents and publications.

Perhaps we should contact them and ask a little more about their platform.
