Crowdsourcing - putting many eyes and hands in the general public to the purpose of mining, organizing or analyzing biological data has surfaced several times in bioinformatics. 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 only as professionals, the problem was structured as a workshop which could draw on scientists and the public to see if interdisciplinary breadth could take on an introductory synthetic biology project which resulted in a publishable outcome. The problem would need to be from completely open data sources and not require difficult analysis and ideally looking at one or more typical bioinformatics data sources.  The glowing plant project has solicited parts from the DIYBio community [reference]  The group was posted through meetup.com for Counter Culture Labs and Berkeley Bio Labs, two groups with over 100 members each, and meet regularly every week or two at SudoRoom, a tech Maker space in downtown Oakland, CA.   The new discipline of Synthetic biology has been focused on bacteria, but plants offer many advantages as systems for biological engineers. There is a paucity of published information however about how to control sets of genes working in concert. As an initial exploration of plant systems.
