# Summary
Grafoscopio [@luna_cardenas_metaforas_2014] is a moldable [@girba_scg:_2014] tool
to make reproducible research and literate computing [@perez_project_2015],
developed on Pharo [@ducasse_pharo_2017] live coding and computing integrated environment,
which allow authors to intertwine prose, code, data and
agile visualizations [@bergel_agile_2016] into storytelling, and readers and coauthors can
verify, collaborate on and extend the document claims and artifacts.
Grafoscopio is and integrates simple and self-cointained "pocket infractures", that can
be execute On/Off-line, from a USB thumb drive, a rasperry-Pi alike computer, a modest
server or any hardware in between and beyond and tries to blur binary constructs like
author / lector, developer / user, document / data, binary aplication / source code, and
has an associated permanent workshop+hackathon, called the Data Week, where
diverse participants learn, extend and modify Grafoscopio, while dealing with civic
issues that can be understood and expressed better using the techniques provided by
literate computing and reproducible research.
