Dear OKFNers,

We've just launched the alpha version of PyBossa, a crowd-sourcing and 
micro-taking platform developed in collaboration with the Citizen 
Cyberscience Center.

In a nut-shell, PyBossa is a free, open-source crowd-sourcing and 
micro-tasking platform. It enables people to create and run projects 
that utilise online assistance in performing tasks that require human 
cognition such as image classification, transcription, geocoding and 
more. PyBossa is there to help researchers, civic hackers and developers 
to create projects where anyone around the world with some time, 
interest and an internet connection can contribute.

The demo projects we currently have focus on real world applications of 
the platform for use in medical diagnosis and geocoding the location of 
green spaces in cities.

Looking forward to hearing what everyone thinks of it, so go and try out 
the demo projects!
