In the application I mentioned before, I basically avoid the copy&paste
action by giving a button that will directly do the search in Google
Scholar in a new tab. You can adapt it easily to any service :-)

* they click questions such as "is this paper on a public site?" "is it the

It makes a lot of sense :-) Once the user has all that info, they will
click a button with the Save URL or Send report, and a new task will be
loaded for them.

Yep! You will be able to get all the answers via JavaScript, or if you
prefer, download them, do the statistics first, and then generate the
output. This is up to you to decide how do you want to achieve it.

That's something you can address in the tutorial. Every CrowdCrafting.org
application can have one, so all you have to do is to create one for yours
:-)

That's something CrowdCrafting does not have, but there should be free
Wikis or Etherpads to coordinate yourself.

Indeed! If promoted well, you will get a lot of people!
