NiemanLab reporting:
A few months ago we told you about a new tool from The New York Times that allowed readers to help identify ads inside the paper’s massive archive. Madison,
as it was called, was the first iteration on a new crowdsourcing tool
from The New York Times R&D Lab that would make it easier to break
down specific tasks and get users to help an organization get at the
data they need.
Today the R&D Lab is opening up the platform
that powers the whole thing. Hive is an open-source framework that lets
anyone build their own crowdsourcing project. The code responsible for
Hive is now available on GitHub.
With Hive, a developer can create assignments for users, define what
they need to do, and keep track of their progress in helping to solve
problems.
