Coronavirus Tech Handbook

Edward Saperia, Dean of Newspeak House in London, has compiled a Coronavirus Tech Handbook. This handbook is a "crowdsourced resource for technologists building things related to the coronavirus outbreak".

Created by Edward Saperia and powered by Google Docs Enhancement Suite, the Coronavirus Tech Handbook has been designed to be a “dynamic resource with many hundreds of contributors that is evolving very quickly. Its design is a compromise between making it easy to read, making contributions intuitive, and maintaining long term engagement.”

The Coronavirus Tech Handbook contains content with self-isolating survival toolkits, advice for adapting to the outbreak, tracking the virus spread, as well as public knowledge and official information, and community help. It is a helpful and informative resource for all those working from home and self-isolating in this coronavirus storm.

If you wish to read it or be a contributor, you can find the Coronavirus Tech Handbook here.

Summary of contents:

  • Response Communities
  • Adapting
  • Tracking the Outbreak
  • Public Knowledge
  • Medicine & Care
  • Community Resilience
  • Engineering
  • Institutions
  • Miscellaneous projects

Bear in mind that as the pandemic situation is moving very fast, the contributors may take time to reply to things. A few rules to pin somewhere:

“Don’t contact us to ask if you can put things into the handbook. You can add them yourself – it’s an open document. Twitter is best: @nwspkEmail replies may be slow: [email protected]” – Edward Saperia, Newspeak House
