[okfn-labs] PyBossa Task ID and Disqus integration

Wed Jul 11 12:49:55 UTC 2012

http://pybossa.com/ <http://ReclineJS.com/> now supports loading tasks via
URL

<https://github.com/PyBossa/pybossa/issues/127>

While this new work flow is not mandatory, it will help to integrate
PyBossa with other services like Disqus --see issue #133 [2]-- (you can
test it in Flickr Person Finder and Urban Parks) with a forum or thread per
task, allowing users to discuss specific or interesting issues regarding
the task (i.e. the popular Hanny's Voorwerp discovery [1] was posted in the
GalaxyZoo forums first, so having this type of interaction via forums could
be very interesting for some applications).

The documentation has been updated, check the advance section to read more
about this new work flow.

In previous commits, the scheduler has been improved also to reduce the
memory impact, reducing the number of queries. The idea is the following,
as soon as the scheduler gets a valid task, return it, otherwise keep
searching.

Finally each application can use a different scheduler if required. There
are for the moment two available ones:

- Default one (get 30 TaskRuns or answers per task by default)
- Random one (return one random task --it allows repetition)

Best regards,

Daniel
