More info

Grafoscopio is a moldable tool for interactive documentation and data visualization, that is being used in citizen, garage & open science, reproducible research, (h)ac(k)tivism, open & community innovation, domain specific visualization and data journalism, and has a lot of other potential uses. Grafoscopio is covered by a Free Libre Open Source Software license (MIT) and it has an associated hackathon/workshop, called the Data Week, oriented to citizen concerns, which are related and mediated by data and visualization. There we learn, adapt and feedback this tool.
