[open-economics] The Statistical Memory of Brazil

Tue Jan 15 12:23:42 UTC 2013

Hi  

some time ago there was a discussion about the crowdsourcing of the transcription involving combining Pybossa and a platform developed for family history projects, in turn based on tools that GalaxyZoo had created for their Oldweather project. At the time the platform was not ready but it is now much more developed and could be used for the second stage of the Brazil project.

Eustaquio and others interested, please send me a line for an intro

The future plans of the project include open source collaborative / crowd-sourcing platforms which would make this data available in open formats.
