{description}Share and you’ll succeed. This is the motto for the open source software movement that started in the 1990s. It is characterized by the free sharing of software to a community of computer programmers who debug and update the software online. The result? High quality computer programs rivaling those of Microsoft and IBM. Fast-forward a decade and a half later, and the musings of the open source software movement have inspired the Tropical Diseases Initiative (TDI), a small group of scientists in the biotechnology industry, to create a web forum for scientists to collaborate in developing drugs. By open sourcing, or freely sharing drug research, TDI hopes scientists across the world will work to create drugs for neglected tropical diseases.   {/description}
