[okfn-labs] PyBossa for cultural heritage transcription/description?

Thu Nov 22 08:33:52 UTC 2012

Hi,

This is great :D You can actually create an app using the Flickr Person
Finder as a template and modify only one link to get the images from
Flickr. The goal could be use the http://www.flickr.com/commonsFlickr
Commons pools and classify the images, etc. Actually lots of Museums and
institutions are pushing photos to Flickr
Commons<http://www.flickr.com/commons/institutions/>so we only need to
contact one of those participant institutions and see if
they want the app :-)

Cheers,

Daniel
