The Quixote Project is an Open Source, Open Data, international collaboration to develop the infrastructure to organise, share and query computational chemistry data; no centralised structure, internet-based and run entirely by motivated scientists; create a useful infrastructure and consolidate the model around the tools (the "if you build it, they will come" approach); collaboration managed using skype conferences, wikis, etherpads and mailing lists; have started to attract funding and collaborators.
