## Introduction
Due to major Major advances in sequencing
technology, technology has produced an avalanche of
biodata has been produced biological data over the past 12 years.
One consequence of these changes is the shifting of the The bottleneck in discovery
has consequently shifted from data generation to data analysis.
This It raises the
persistent persistent, nagging question that a vanishingly small amount of the data is used to its full potential \cite{Lockhart_Winzeler_2000}.
One
part technique of
the solution to gaining more insight from existing
biodata biological data could be crowdsourcing. Putting the many
and varied eyes and hands of the general public to the purpose of mining, organizing or analyzing biological data has surfaced several times in bioinformatics \cite{Good_Su_2013} \cite{ld_Allison_Bonneau_et_al__2012}. Examples of problems approached by crowdsourcing include protein [ref] and RNA folding, both paid [ingenuity] and unpaid [refs] curation of literature.
Rather than engage this problem strictly as professionals, an Open Source DIY workshop was presented where scientists and the public could work together to tackle an introductory synthetic biology project resulting in a publishable outcome. The problem to be solved would need data from completely open sources, not require difficult analysis and ideally look at one or more typical bioinformatics data sources. Thus we decided to do a survey of plant translation initiation motifs which could be embodied as an open source parts list for controlling translation in metabolic engineering and synthetic biology efforts.
