[okfn-labs] Pybossa UI question: navigating from app description to app?

Fri Oct 12 10:29:57 UTC 2012

I noticed the absence of that link too, I intend to do a design for this
page at some point.. but in the mean time, a link would be good.

Probably worth adding, I too was confused by the urban parks app. I found I
was just guessing there was a park because there was an expanse of green..
surely a computer can do / already has done that just as well?
