Crowdsourcing by Andy B on Thursday, 24 April 2014

Yes, crowdsourcing is a cheesy journo word for what we have been doing on the Portal for 13 years. I have been known to use it on occasions in talks and summaries of what we do. I suppose I should go all trendy and advertise it a bit more - how about The world's no 1 ancient site 'crowdsourcing' project (ugh) The 'crowd' bit is rather patronising as a lot of the effort is put in by a few hundred dedicated and experienced individuals. Crowdcrafting is better.

However it does emphasises that anyone can take part no matter what their experience level, which is very much encouraged and all help is given to get people started. Crowdsource away!

And did I mention the free T shirts / books for all significant contributors of information to the Portal ... :) I'm still working through these so if you are a 'significant contributor of information' please don't be shy to ask about yours.

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
