“In just 29 days, they made 90,000 tasks — each by 10 different volunteers to reduce errors — and identified 1,420 well locations.”
PYBOSSA
PYBOSSA is the ultimate crowdsourcing framework to analyze or enrich data that can't be processed by machines alone.
PYBOSSA is a free, 100% open-source framework for crowdsourcing. It was born in 2011 at a hackathon in Cape Town, South Africa, with the collaboration of the Open Knowledge Foundation and the Citizen Cyberscience Centre.
It enables researchers, civic hackers and developers to create and run projects where volunteers help with image classification, transcription, geocoding and more.
PYBOSSA is the most versatile tool. It can easily adapt to the project’s needs and be mixed, modified, customised and shared to create limitless possibilities for research and science, making it accessible to anyone.
PYBOSSA runs Crowdcrafting and is developed by Scifabric.
