[edit] Task Me Up
An open source, standard based, Task Turking platform.
Live site at: http://taskmeup.org
Join us at:
- #TaskMeUp in irc.freenode.net
- Main Hall, 2nd floor, 55 west 13th street, NYC
Allow the quick creation of a collaboration space by defining a custom form where volunteers can transform unstructured data into structured data.
[edit] Comparison to other solutions
Crowdflower
- We want to create an open source and free tool. Crowdflower is proprietary and commercial.
Textonic
- Textonic only allows tagging data, it's designed to receive SMS as it's input, and works only with Amazon Mechanical Turk.
We want:
- define the tasks by using a flexible form (ideally xforms)
- be able to receive any kind of sources (through RSS feeds)
- expose the results through a feed so any application can consume the results
TaskOverflow
- We plan to accept standard form definitions, to allow any kind of data structure to be created (maybe using xforms)
- We want each "TaskHub" to accept RSS Feed as sources and output feeds as well so it can be connected to and from any application.
