In reply to JohnF.'s comment:
For (1), I still can't find it, any clues?

For (2), if you are in "http://daily.zooniverse.org/", how do you get back to "https://zooniverse.org", the same applies to "http://blog.zooniverse.org/"?

[1] Perhaps just a misunderstanding; you can't see it anywhere, it's missing.
[2] OK, now I see what you meant by the sub-sites. There is no button for the Zoo home page! (I go back by removing the first word from the URL. But it definitely should be possible through a button/hypelink.)

For (2), apart from my day job of testing websites, I also built three public ones, one of which has over 1.5m views. These I checked against 16 different web browsers and W3C standards and amended the blockery font, in some cases........then along came the Android Operating System, which meant I had to change about 4000+ files (having originally based most things on the Windows OS), not by hand, but used the automatic replace in Notepad++. As some of my users haven't had much exposure to PCs, I had to make everything as user-friendly as possible, and mostly stick to PDFs as much as possible.

I'm primarily a space project addict and I'll have a look at all that are put forward. Although I concentrate on a favourite ongoing few... such as Galaxy Zoo, Asteroid Zoo, Solar Stormwatch and Disc Detective. I've enjoyed the short lived projects too, as it feels good to see a completed job. I particularly liked Ice Hunters and the supernova one.
However, I also love other projects, so I often break from space to the earth bound type... Serengeti, Chicago, Seafloor even Worm Watch lol. The Higgs Hunters is a tough one, I enjoy the challenge but I think I'm rubbish! Haha!

Just an opinion, the team might be coming up with an entirely new project called "Trailblazer".

I got an email from some cancer research organisation of UK only regarding this; but am not sure if it is the same that has launched cell slider.

I took part in its beta testing and the type of job and classifications are quite similar to that of cell slider. So you may like to remember this point when checking anything with the cell slider research team

Hi,
I want to do some testing of my workflow before I start opening it up to the masses; I'd like to use AMT since it's fast and reliable. Do you know if anybody's tried to do this, and if so, what process did they use to communicate with AMT that jobs were complete and keep track of individual users? Any help is appreciated!

A recent article in our local paper the Waikato Times from Les Oxley, professor in economics at University of Waikato, Hamilton NZI is wanting volunteers to transcribe information. I am interested to become a volunteer but need some information to do this. Parts to be transcribed are from documents of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force attestation forms of ANZAC Soldiers of World War 1 and South African Boer War. Details to be typed of the ANZAC soldiers name, next of kin, job birthplace. health at enlistment, key events in the soldier's service and date of death. Can you help me. Thankyou, regards Judith Cunningham. rsjlcunningham@clear.net.nz

Thank you very much! Yes, I'm sure a desk top or tablet would be much easier to see, but so far I've just tried from my smart phone. It gives me a chance to do the research work that I've always wanted to do, while on my lunch breaks from my horrible government job.

Oh, why not, I'll jump on as well...

Greetings, salutations, howdy and g'day to you all, I'm hiig, and I've been an avid fan of anything related to citizen science for many years. I'm an unstable mix of multiculturalism, growing up in Australia with an Arabic first name, but a family and last name that's Hungarian, in a Greek community nestled between a Chinese and Lebanese community. Love Indian and Japanese food, and currently live in Dubai for work, after a 7 year stay in Sweden.

Got my first taste of voluntary projects with Folding@Home, though for most of my life I never really owned a powerful computer. I spent many high school lunch breaks sneaking the software onto school computers (which I knew I shouldn't have done, but hey, when you're young and reckless...).

Branched out into BOINC projects, primarily helping those that lacked as many participants as the more popular ones, using a new computer I had finally gathered funds to build. It was also at this point that I first learned about citizen science projects where volunteers would actively participate in the projects they'd assist, so in my free time when I didn't know what to do, I'd have sat for hours watching videos of birds for Wildlife@Home.

Fast forwarding a little, I got a job as a flight attendant and moved to Dubai. Been over a year since then, but only in the last few months did I discover Zooniverse. I quickly gravitated towards the astronomy projects (pardon the horrible pun), so now I'd be in the bed of a hotel in some different city, tapping away on my phone for science, sometimes for my entire stay if there's no motivation for me to go out.

Since I'm regularly using my job as a way of meeting people I've chatted with for years online, maybe one day I'll bump into in of you folks. I would definitely jump at an opportunity to share a few drinks with the science folks here!

Until then, here's to science!

Hi,

I'm not sure how helpful it is to list all of the hasthags. The Talk side bar shows 20 or so of the most frequent which I think does the job of showing the tags that are in use. I'm not sure having the full list in that context is helpful. Eventually the subject pages should show the hash tags associated, and I think what is needed is like in version 2.0 a returning back of associated hashtags.

In terms of the full list, the research teams can download the Talk data in the new platform and ask the devleopment team to get the data for previous version of Talk and parse that and post it to talk. I'd be happy to do that or post the 30 top hashtags on the Planet Four blog at any time if requested.

Cheers,

~Meg

From the Planet Four and Planet Four: Terrains Science Teams

Just trying to tidy up things. P4Terrains is getting a bit unwieldy at the mo, one of the top 20 is #dunesdikesorchannelstrending11oclock (not looked but there are potentially 12 or more variations on this theme) and there's 7 pages of images. But a quick look shows that they are mostly dust devil tracks. So if anyone ever wants to find all the images containing dust devils they've go no chance.

YSHISH if you've got a post already containing the 'approved' #tags you can pin it to the top of the appropriate board. You have the option to keep it closed so that only the owner can amend or leave it open so others can add posts with new tags, which can then be assimilated into the top post - this approach worked well at P4 when we were trying to get together a FAQ post.

So the way to go maybe to have a pinned "Please use these #tags" post, with attached examples if one has the time, inviting posts for new tags when there's not one on the list which fits. But it will still help if a list of everything is accessible.

The problem with things like #dunesdikesorchannelstrending11oclock is that it's under the radar until there's a lot of them, unless someone is monitoring all the notes posted, and what could have been sorted at the outset becomes a big job when there's lots of images so tagged.

OR - is it possible to develop a tool which allows #tags to be marked as equivalent? So on finding we have #blue-ford and #ford-blue we can select both and 'merge' them.

Hi Im Wendy, I love space and physics, you will usually find me in Higgs Hunters or Radio Galaxy, Im from New Zealand so im usually on when it is at night down here, Love learning about CERN and astrophysics

I work at Scion Forest Research as a technician in the National Forestry Herbarium, so I have a botanical science based job

keep up the good work Zooniverse

thanks
