Artes-20 embracing crowdsourcing and putting substantial money into it - at least its first step

crowdsourcing science funding ...

there have been a few of these popping out lately, thanks to Kickstarter's incredible success. This one http://www.petridish.org/ launched last month, and has a lot of projects already, including a fully funded one (219 backers, $12,247 raised) to "find the first exomoon": http://www.petridish.org/projects/help-us-find-the-first-exomoon

Here we go, material for curiosity cloning, life detection via image compression, etc. etc.

Crowsourcing Awareness: "To augment the use of these space technologies, virtual communities of group intelligence - called "Crowdsourcing" - can aide in emergency planning and post-disaster coordination."

For future reference... At the same time, a crowdsourced article: "We began the crowdsourcing by collecting a list of possible rules for the article via a git-controlled repository" SVN would be so 2000-ish...

NASA's new crowdsourcing initiative to find asteroid threats.

"A band of space hackers and engineers are trying to do something never done before - recover a 36 year old NASA spacecraft from the grips of deep space and time. With old NASA documents and Rockethub crowdfunding, a team led by Dennis Wingo and Keith Cowing is attempting to steer ISEE-3, later rechristened ICE, the International Cometary Explorer, back into an Earth orbit and return it to scientific operations. Dennis says, 'ISEE-3 can become a great teaching tool for future engineers and scientists helping with design and travel to Mars'. Only 40 days remain before the spacecraft will be out of range for recovery. A radio telescope is available, propulsion designs are in hand and the team is hoping for public support to provide the small amount needed to accomplish a very unique milestone in space exploration

Pretty impressive examples of html5. Maybe interesting for the crowdsourcing game?

This platform could be used to collect information from astronomers? Or, can we come up with a cool space app for it?

Some interesting ideas for our crowdsourcing game in here.

For the time being the page does not load for me (overload?) but I've just read an article about it in the local news.

loads fine for me ... and very nice layout - well done in general in my view

This Zooniverse looks nice in general ... look also at the other projects: http://www.zooniverse.org/contact

There is this optical neuron that gets stimulated from motion. Mapping it is difficult in the lab: "The stumbling block is a lack of fine-grained anatomical detail about how the neurons in the retina are wired up to each other." So, use people deciphering from 2D images --> the 3D neuron structure using the human spatial reasoning to figure out what is part of a branching cell and what is just background noise in the images (yet incomparable to their best algorithms' performance) 120.000 users so far mapped 2% of the retina

Looks like crowdsourcing for astronomy stuff is already being done.

Crowdsourcing space debris monitoring

Old post from Luis brought back from graveyard..... At least two good ideas to put there: 1) tipping points prediction 2) planetary phases for trajectory transfer and probably many more if we think about it a bit more

Guido and Paul's app is out - and here is the "promotion" video ...

Crowdsourced text translation platform. You learn a new language and you help translating the web!

A real scientific study...
