Through this paper, we call for a distributed,
internet-based collaboration to address one of the
worst plagues of our present world, malaria. The spirit
is a non-proprietary peer-production of informationembedding
goods. And we propose to use the grid
technology to enable such a world wide "open source"
like collaboration. The first step towards this vision
has been achieved during the summer on the EGEE
grid infrastructure where 46 million ligands were
docked for a total amount of 80 CPU years in 6 weeks
in the quest for new drugs.
